Dundee is a highly-rated Scottish medical school with a five-year MBChB known for its teaching and clinical-skills focus. It doesn't set a UCAT cut-off; instead it combines your UCAT with your academics into a pre-interview score, then uses a distinctive group-discussion interview.
Dundee has no UCAT cut-off. Instead, your academic achievements and UCAT are combined to generate a pre-interview score that decides who's invited, so neither dominates outright. Because there's no published line, a solid UCAT alongside strong grades is the aim — and the line shifts with the pool each year.
Dundee's combined scoring suits a strong all-rounder rather than only top UCAT scorers. If your grades are strong and your UCAT is respectable, it's a sensible target — and worth knowing the interview format is unusual, with a group discussion. Check your percentile.
