How every UK dental school uses UCAT, 2027 entry

UCAT is required. Aberdeen's page still gives a 60% academic, 40% UKCAT split written before Abstract Reasoning was removed, so the 2027 weighting is not confirmed. Offers depend on interview.

An academic check and personal statement review, then applicants are ranked on UCAT.

The combined UCAT score, without the SJT, selects applicants for interview.

Academic eligibility comes first. Achieved qualifications are scored and UCAT may be used.

Eligible applicants are ranked on UCAT and the highest scores are invited.

Academic results, predicted grades and UCAT together decide interview selection. No minimum UCAT.

After an eligibility check, applicants are ranked on overall UCAT. At offer stage, interview and UCAT count equally.

UCAT is required. The dentistry page does not say how it is used.

GCSEs, UCAT and context rank applicants, then the whole application is reviewed.

UCAT is required with no fixed cut-off. The interview assesses other qualities.

After an academic check, UCAT total and the SJT together decide the interview shortlist.

After academic screening, a UCAT interview threshold applies. Applicants below it may still get a holistic review.

An academic check, then applicants are ranked on UCAT until interview places are filled. Offers depend on interview alone.

Academic qualifications and UCAT decide the shortlist. Interview ranking decides offers.

First screen: academics and UCAT in the fourth decile or above. UCAT is then weighted with academics.

Applicants are ranked on a GCSE score and UCAT. Rules differ by fee group.

Academic record, career exploration, statement, reference and UCAT are all considered.

Every applicant must sit UCAT in the year of application, and shortlisted applicants are interviewed. Portsmouth publishes no UCAT weighting or threshold.
