Brunel Medical School is a newer five-year MBBS in west London with a modern, Good-Medical-Practice-led curriculum. It shortlists using your UCAT (or GAMSAT) alongside your personal statement and references, then invites you to a virtual MMI.
Brunel accepts either the UCAT or the GAMSAT, and shortlists by combining that score with your personal statement and references — so it's not a pure UCAT ranking. The strongest combined applications are invited to a virtual MMI. A distinctive quirk: up to ten high-performing Brunel Biomedical Science students are offered an automatic interview, bypassing the score ranking entirely.
Brunel rewards a rounded application, since your statement and references count alongside your UCAT for shortlisting — so a strong, reflective statement genuinely helps here. A competitive UCAT plus a sharp statement is the combination to aim for, and the virtual MMI keeps travel costs down.
