Queen's University Belfast Medicine: UCAT, A-Levels & Interview Requirements

Queen's University Belfast has not published a fixed UCAT cut-off for 2027 entry. Here's how UCAT, A-levels, SJT and the interview all fit together for medicine.

2027 UCAT cut off: Not published
How the UCAT is weighted: No numeric UCAT cut-off is published for the current cycle. UCAT is scored and used with the GCSE score to rank for interview, with AS-level performance, additional GCSE A grades and other factors considered in borderline cases.
SJT policy: Not described as a separate banded cut-off on QUB's live pages. Used only as a tie-breaker: if two candidates have the same rank order but there is only one place, the offer goes to the candidate with the higher SJT score.
A-level requirements: AAA at A-level plus an A in a fourth AS-level, including A-level Chemistry plus at least one other from Biology/Human Biology, Mathematics or Physics (alternative combinations also accepted). GCSE Mathematics and Physics minimum C/4 required if not taken at AS/A-level; GCSE English Language minimum C/4 required.
Interview format: Multiple Mini Interview. QUB's MMI candidate information describes a 12-station circuit with 9 interview stations and 3 rest stations, 4 stations including a role player. Held December to March, in person in Belfast for home fee-paying applicants, online for international fee-paying applicants.

National benchmark, for context

For context, the UCAT Consortium's own 2025 statistics report a mean cognitive score of 1891 (out of 2,700) across 41,354 tests, with the median (5th decile) at 1880 and the top decile at 2220+. This is a national figure, not Queen's University Belfast's own threshold, since Queen's University Belfast doesn't publish one for the current cycle.

UCAT Consortium, Test Statistics 2025

Standard A-level offer: AAA at A-level plus an A in a fourth AS-level, including A-level Chemistry plus at least one other from Biology/Human Biology, Mathematics or Physics (alternative combinations also accepted). GCSE Mathematics and Physics minimum C/4 required if not taken at AS/A-level; GCSE English Language minimum C/4 required. SJT policy: Not described as a separate banded cut-off on QUB's live pages. Used only as a tie-breaker: if two candidates have the same rank order but there is only one place, the offer goes to the candidate with the higher SJT score. Worth knowing: QUB's own linked Admissions Policy Statement for Medicine is explicitly labelled for the prior, already-closed cycle; QUB said an updated version was expected mid-2026, but none had been published as of this check. Detailed UCAT/SJT numeric figures should be treated as unconfirmed for the current cycle until that document is reissued. Always confirm against the official page before applying, since this is the most recent published position rather than a guarantee for the live cycle.
