Kent and Medway (KMMS) Medicine (Kent and Medway Medical School) for 2027 entry: entry requirements, A-level and GCSE grades, how it uses the UCAT, admissions statistics, interview format and graduate entry - from MedicHut's medical admissions team.
Last reviewed: 14 September 2026 by MedicHut's medical admissions team.
Kent and Medway Medical School is also known as KMMS.
Kent and Medway Medicine asks for AAB / AAA including Chemistry or Biology, plus one of Chemistry, other science, Psychology, Maths or Computer Science at A-level, or 34 points with minimum grade 6 in Biology and/or Chemistry, and another science if both not offered in the IB. At GCSE: Five subjects at B/6 including English Language and Maths plus Biology, Chemistry and Physics or Double Science and another subject. KMMS operated a selection threshold of total UCAT score 2,490 or above (47th centile, out of 3,600 on the old scale) and SJT Band 3 or above for 2025-26 entry; this may change for 2027 entry. 2025 entry: lowest UCAT invited to interview 2,500, average of interviewees 2,651.
Predicted A-level grades are not used to rank applicants here. That means a lower prediction is not a disadvantage at the shortlisting stage, provided you meet the minimum entry requirement. You still need to achieve the required grades on results day, so keep working to surpass your predictions.
Band 4 in the SJT is rejected. Graduate applicants need band 2 or better.

Lowest UCAT invited to interview (out of 3,600, the old scale): 2023 entry 2,200; 2024 entry 2,470; 2025 entry 2,500. Predicted threshold for 2027 entry: 1,880 (out of 2,700, the new scale).
Multi station interview of six short stations of seven minutes each plus one group station of 40 to 45 minutes, held in person at the Canterbury campus for Home applicants. You are scored per station rather than ranked, and a non disclosure agreement is required. Mid December for Home applicants, with international dates confirmed separately.
KMMS ranks applicants for interview primarily by UCAT cognitive score. The 2025 cycle effective cut-off was around 2,540. Aim for 2,600+ to comfortably clear shortlisting; below 2,450 is high-risk.
Either Chemistry or Biology is mandatory at grade A. The second science can be Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Maths or Psychology.
MMI - seven stations of about six minutes each, run online via MS Teams for 2027 entry. Values-based questions on empathy and communication carry particular weight.
Yes - a reduced grade offer (BBB) and relaxed UCAT threshold for eligible widening-participation applicants from Kent, Medway and East Sussex postcodes.
Yes - 36 points overall with 6,6,6 at Higher Level, to include HL Biology or Chemistry plus one further science.
The school is a joint venture between the University of Kent (Canterbury) and Canterbury Christ Church University (Medway). Teaching is split between the two campuses, with clinical placements across Kent and Medway hospitals.
Resits are considered with mitigating circumstances. Achieved grades must still hit AAA at the resit attempt.
MMI invitations from November; final decisions December-April for 2027 entry.
