University of Southampton Medicine: UCAT, A-Levels & Interview Requirements
University of Southampton 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
- Applicants who meet grade requirements are ranked by UCAT score and the top-ranked are invited to a Selection Day; no fixed score is published because the threshold varies year to year. UCAT is also used as a tiebreaker if Selection Day scores are tied between candidates.
- SJT policy
- Not published. No official Southampton page mentions the SJT subtest, a band requirement, or any distinct SJT-based stage.
- A-level requirements
- Standard offer AAA including A-level Biology and one additional science (Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, Sociology, Environmental Studies or Geography), with a pass in the practical element where separately endorsed. Contextual offer AAB, same subject requirement. GCSEs: 7 at grade B/6 or above including English Language, Maths, and either Biology and Chemistry, Combined Science, or Science and Additional Science.
- Interview format
- In-person only Selection Day consisting of an interview plus a group task; no online alternative is offered. Southampton does not label the format as MMI or panel, and no station count or per-station timing is published.
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 University of Southampton's own threshold, since University of Southampton doesn't publish one for the current cycle.

No official Southampton page mentions the SJT subtest, a band requirement, or any distinct SJT-based stage. Worth knowing: Southampton's standalone Selection Procedure and Policy document is stale, still titled for 2024 entry; the figures here come instead from the live course page's current-cycle tab. Always confirm against the official page before applying, since this is the most recent published position rather than a guarantee for the live cycle.
