Brunel Medicine entry requirements (2027 entry)

At GCSE: Five GCSEs at grade 6 including two sciences, Maths at grade 5 or above and English at grade 4 or above. SJT Band 4 is an automatic rejection.

How Brunel uses the UCAT

SJT Band 4 is an automatic rejection. Remaining applicants who meet the academic bar are ranked on UCAT total (or GAMSAT for graduate applicants). Brunel publishes no threshold and has declined FOI requests, so the line is purely relative to each year's applicant pool.

No published historic cut-offs. Because Brunel is new and much of the cohort has been international, the effective line has been softer than at established London schools - but Home places are still very new, so treat any quoted figure as unverified.

All three are recent London-area entrants with small cohorts and limited published data. Brunel has the largest international footprint, Kingston/St Mary's is a partnership programme, and Hertfordshire is the newest of the three.
