University of Birmingham: UCAT and entry requirements
UCAT use, interviews and entry requirements for University of Birmingham.
| UCAS code | A100 [2][1] |
|---|---|
| How UCAT is used | Home interview selection weights GCSEs 45%, UCAT 40% and context 15%. UCAT is scored by national decile, with no minimum cut-off. [3] |
| Situational Judgement | At offer stage, SJT is worth one MMI station: Band 1 gets full marks, Band 2 two thirds, Band 3 one third and Band 4 zero. [4] |
| Last cycle's published score | 2026 entry, out of 2700: lowest invited scores were 1920 standard Home, 1710 contextual and 2110 international. These are past interview scores, not a target. [5] |
| Interview | In-person MMI for Home applicants, with six or seven eight-minute stations including preparation. International applicants attend online. [4] |
| Other selection requirements | Offers use interview performance and SJT, without academic merit. [4] |
| UCAS code | A200 [2][6] |
|---|---|
| How UCAT is used | Academics and the personal statement are screened before UCAT determines interview invitations. No minimum cut-off. [7] |
| Situational Judgement | Not used at any stage. [7] |
| Last cycle's published score | 2026 entry, out of 2700: lowest interviewed score 2190, excluding contextual and widening participation applicants. This is a past interview score, not a target. [8] |
| Interview | MMI in person at the Dental School during February half-term. [9] |
| Other selection requirements | Offers depend on interview ranking alone. [7] |
What this means for your UCAT prep
Medicine uses UCAT for interview selection and SJT again for offers. [3][4] Dentistry ignores SJT but uses UCAT after the academic and personal statement screens. [7]
