Medicine and Surgery MBBS (A100)
Official course details (accessed 2026-09-24). UCAT applies to home applicants. International applicant scope remains unresolved. The UCAT directory flags alternative requirements while the university-authored UCAS listing says all applicants must sit UCAT. This record does not establish an international exemption; international applicants must confirm the requirement with the university. Requirement source (accessed 2026-09-24).
For the verified Home-applicant scope, UCAT scores form part of selection before interview. A course-specific 2027 competitive score or weighting has not been verified; no predicted cut-off is supplied. Official selection guidance (accessed 2026-09-24).
Deadlines: book UCAT by 16 September 2026 at 15:00 UK time; sit between 13 July and 24 September 2026. Official test dates (accessed 2026-09-24). The UCAS deadline is 15 October 2026 at 18:00 UK time. UCAS calendar (accessed 2026-09-24).
Home-applicant UCAT obligation is supported by the university-authored 2027 UCAS listing. International scope needs reconciliation with the UCAT directory's alternative-requirement marker. Course-specific note (accessed 2026-09-24).
Preparation advice (editorial): For Verbal Reasoning, mark the sentence that supports each answer before adding time pressure. For Decision Making, separate stated facts from assumptions. In Quantitative Reasoning, practise unit changes and calculator entry separately before attempting timed sets. Track reading mistakes separately from timing mistakes. Use the official practice tests (research accessed 2026-09-23) to rehearse the interface.
