University of Liverpool: UCAT score& entry requirements

Liverpool is a large, well-established medical school with a five-year integrated MBChB. It's clear about selection: once you meet the academic bar, your UCAT alone decides who's invited to interview — your personal statement and reference aren't routinely scored at that stage.

In short
  • Liverpool uses the UCAT alone to select for interview, after academic and GCSE requirements are met.
  • As a current-scale guide, Home applicants are roughly in the 4th–6th decile (about 1810–1920).
  • Standard offer is AAA including Chemistry and a second science; GCSEs are scored on a points system.
  • Selection is by MMI; the course is a five-year integrated MBChB.

How Liverpool uses the UCAT

Liverpool keeps interview selection simple: meet the academic and GCSE requirements, and then your UCAT alone decides whether you're invited — your personal statement and reference aren't routinely assessed at that point. As a current-scale guide, Home applicants have tended to need roughly the 4th–6th decile (around 1810–1920), with international applicants higher; the real line moves with the pool.

Is your score competitive here?

Because Liverpool selects for interview on the UCAT alone, the score is decisive — but its guide range isn't as stratospheric as the most UCAT-heavy schools, so a solid (not necessarily elite) score can be enough. Check your percentile against that 4th–6th decile guide.

Liverpool medicine · FAQ

What UCAT score do I need for Liverpool medicine?

Liverpool selects for interview on the UCAT alone (after academics and GCSEs). As a current-scale guide, Home applicants have tended to need roughly the 4th–6th decile, around 1810–1920, with the real line set by the year's pool.

Not routinely for interview selection — that's decided on the UCAT once you meet the academic and GCSE requirements. The statement and references come in later.

How does Liverpool use GCSEs?

GCSEs are scored on a points system (higher grades score more) with a minimum total required, alongside the A-level and UCAT requirements.
