University of Sheffield Medicine: UCAT, A-Levels & Interview Requirements
University of Sheffield publishes a live 2027-entry UCAT cut-off of 1800. Here's how UCAT, A-levels, SJT and the interview all fit together for medicine.
- 2027 UCAT cut off
- 1800
- How the UCAT is weighted
- Applicants who meet minimum academic and UCAT thresholds are ranked by UCAT score to determine interview invitations. Widening-participation applicants on recognised pathways who meet the minimum threshold progress without competitive ranking.
- SJT policy
- SJT performance is reviewed only for applicants invited to interview, not used pre-interview. At interview stage, the SJT quartile converts to a score out of 5, added to the interview score for a combined total out of 45.
- A-level requirements
- Standard offer AAA including Chemistry or Biology plus a second science (Biology/Human Biology, Chemistry, Maths, Physics or Psychology), plus a pass in the practical element of any science A-levels taken. GCSE: at least five at grade 7/A, with grade 6/B or above in Maths, English Language and at least one science.
- Interview format
- Multiple Mini Interview, typically 8 stations, in person for home applicants; online panel interview for international applicants. Interviews run December to January.
Standard A-level offer: Standard offer AAA including Chemistry or Biology plus a second science (Biology/Human Biology, Chemistry, Maths, Physics or Psychology), plus a pass in the practical element of any science A-levels taken. GCSE: at least five at grade 7/A, with grade 6/B or above in Maths, English Language and at least one science. SJT policy: SJT performance is reviewed only for applicants invited to interview, not used pre-interview. At interview stage, the SJT quartile converts to a score out of 5, added to the interview score for a combined total out of 45. Worth knowing: Sheffield's threshold is set as the 40th centile score across the three most recent UCAT cycles, so it moves with each intake rather than being fixed year to year. Always confirm against the official page before applying, since this is the most recent published position rather than a guarantee for the live cycle.
