University of East Anglia, Norwich Medical School provides the medicine (A100), (A101) graduate entry and Medicine with gateway year (A104) courses that require UCAT.

UCAT

A high score is advantageous, however a low score does not disqualify an applicant from consideration.

Subsection scores may be used to rank applicants for interview alongside other required qualifications.

Overall cognitive score is used alongside interview score for offer-making. It has a 50% weighting while SJT is used within the interview component score for offer-making.

While UEA doesn't have a minimum UCAT score, in 2021, the average score of those interviewed was 2700 with Band 2 in Situational Judgement.

Personal Statement

The personal statement is not scored but a commitment to studying medicine is expected.
