Peninsula Medical School at the University of Plymouth offers one of the most community-focused and clinically immersive medical programmes in the UK. With a strong emphasis on rural and remote medicine, patient-centred learning, and producing doctors ready to work across the South West and beyond, Plymouth has developed a distinctive identity that goes well beyond typical medical school rankings.
In this comprehensive guide, Dr. Bakhtar Ahmad, The Medic Life's admissions expert, breaks down every entry requirement for 2026 entry at Plymouth's Peninsula Medical School — covering A-levels, GCSEs, UCAT, the IB, the Foundation Year route, graduate and GAMSAT entry, widening participation, the UKWPMED scheme, international requirements, and the interview process. Everything you need, all in one place.
Expert note from Dr. Bakhtar Ahmad: "Plymouth is frequently mischaracterised as an easy medical school to get into because of its relatively lower A-level offer compared to schools like Oxford or Edinburgh. That misses the picture entirely. Plymouth uses UCAT as its primary shortlisting tool, and the UCAT cut-off can shift dramatically year to year — in 2022, it was 2,610, but in 2024 it dropped to 2,210. The variability is the challenge. You need to be competitive in the UCAT, meet the academic requirements cleanly, and perform strongly at MMI. Do not underestimate Peninsula Medical School."

Plymouth Medicine Entry Requirements: Plymouth Medicine Course Options - Which Route Is Right for You?
The University of Plymouth Peninsula Medical School offers three undergraduate medicine routes for 2026 entry. Understanding the differences before applying is essential — you cannot hold offers for both A100 and A102 simultaneously.
Course | Key Details |
A100 — 5-Year BMBS (standard entry) | Open to school leavers, graduates and mature students. Uses UCAT or GAMSAT. A-levels, IB, GAMSAT and Plymouth Biomedical Science graduates all considered. |
A102 — 6-Year BMBS with Foundation Year | Widening participation route for eligible students who do NOT fully meet A100 academic requirements. Must meet contextual criteria. UCAT required. Cannot apply to A100 and A102 simultaneously. |
Graduate Entry via Plymouth Biomedical Science | Graduates of specific Plymouth School of Biomedical Sciences programmes (five BSc degrees listed by Plymouth) can apply to A100 without GAMSAT — but only Plymouth graduates are eligible. |
Plymouth Medicine A-Level Entry Requirements (A100 - 2026 Entry)
Plymouth's A-level requirements are broader than many medical schools, with a range of accepted offers depending on your background and circumstances. Here is the full breakdown.
Standard A-Level Offer
Typical offer range: A*AA to AAB at GCE A-level
Grade A in Biology is compulsory
Grade A in a second science from Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics or Psychology
Your third A-level can be from any subject area — arts, humanities, languages, social sciences, sport, or science
No preference is given to applicants who complete three science A-levels
General Studies is not accepted as one of the three A-levels
A-level qualifications must have been completed within five years of the start of the application cycle
Dr. Bakhtar Ahmad says: "One of Plymouth's most student-friendly policies is that your third A-level can genuinely be anything — History, Music, Art, a language. This reflects Peninsula Medical School's philosophy: they want well-rounded individuals who can connect with diverse communities and patient groups. If you play an instrument, have studied another culture's language, or have a passion outside of science, do not feel you need to swap it for a third science."
A-Level Resit Policy
Resit applicants are considered, but only with at least ABB achieved on the first sitting of A-levels
Where ABB is not achieved on first sitting, you must resit and apply once suitable grades are achieved
A-levels (or accepted equivalent qualifications) must be completed within a maximum of three years of study
A suitable qualification profile must be achieved on the first resit attempt
AS level resits do not have a specific policy, but full A-levels must be completed within the above timeframe
IB resit: minimum 34 points overall, with Higher Level 5 in Biology and Higher Level 5 in another science on first sitting
Important: Plymouth states it does not consider any extenuating circumstances at any stage of their admissions process. If your first-sitting grades fall below ABB, you will need to resit — there is no mitigating circumstances pathway.
Plymouth Medicine Entry Requirements: Widening Access (Contextual) A-Level Offer
For applicants from widening access backgrounds who meet the contextual criteria, Plymouth will accept:
AAB at GCE A-level, including Grade A in Biology and Grade A in a second science from Chemistry, Physics, Maths or Psychology
Third A-level can be from any subject (General Studies not accepted)
UCAT and GCSE requirements remain the same for all applicants — contextual status does not reduce UCAT or GCSE requirements
IB widening access offer: 35 points overall, Higher Level 6 in Biology and Higher Level 6 in another science
Widening Access A-level resit policy: ABC minimum on first sitting
UKWPMED Scheme Offer (ABB)
Applicants who are participating in the UK Widening Participation in Medicine (UKWPMED) scheme can be considered with:
ABB at GCE A-level, including Grade A in Biology and Grade B in a second science from Chemistry, Physics, Maths or Psychology
Third A-level from any subject (General Studies not accepted)
Must have flagged UKWPMED participation on UCAS application — Plymouth will contact the university running your scheme to confirm
UCAT cut-off is lower for UKWPMED applicants (2023 cut-off: 2,330 vs 2,680 for standard applicants)
Plymouth Medicine GCSE Requirements (A100 — 2026 Entry)
Plymouth's GCSE requirements are straightforward and minimum-only — unlike many other medical schools, GCSEs are not scored or used to rank candidates. You simply need to meet the minimum threshold to progress to the UCAT shortlisting stage.
Minimum of 7 GCSE passes at Grade C/4 or above
Must include English Language at Grade C/4 or above
Must include Mathematics at Grade C/4 or above
Must include two science subjects — either GCSE Double Award Science (grades CC/44 or above) or two from single award Chemistry, Biology, and Physics
Functional skills qualifications are not accepted in lieu of GCSEs
GCSE grades are not scored or ranked — only minimum pass requirements are checked
Dr. Bakhtar Ahmad's note: "Plymouth's approach to GCSEs is genuinely unusual — they are a gating requirement only, not a scoring mechanism. This is excellent news for applicants who achieved solid but not outstanding GCSEs. If you have a 4 in every subject including your science and English and Maths, you meet the GCSE bar. Plymouth is then assessing you almost entirely on UCAT and academic level (A-levels). Focus your energy there, not on worrying about individual GCSE grades."
Plymouth Medicine Entry Requirements: Plymouth Medicine IB & Alternative Qualification Requirements
Plymouth accepts a number of alternatives to A-levels. Here are the details for the most common qualifications.
Qualification | Plymouth Medicine Requirement (A100) |
International Baccalaureate | 36–38 points overall; Higher Level 6 in Biology + Higher Level 6 in one further science from Chemistry, Physics, Maths or Psychology |
IB — Widening Access | 35 points overall; Higher Level 6 in Biology + Higher Level 6 in another science |
Scottish Advanced Highers | AAA including Biology and one further science (Chemistry, Physics, Maths or Psychology) — Scottish Highers alone are NOT accepted |
Welsh Baccalaureate Advanced Skills Challenge | Accepted as the third A-level alongside Biology and a second science from Chemistry, Physics, Maths or Psychology |
Irish Leaving Certificate | H1, H1, H2, H2, H2, H2 including Biology and one further science from Chemistry, Physics, Maths or Psychology |
Cambridge Pre-U Diploma | D3, D3, D3 including Biology and one further science from Chemistry, Physics, Maths or Psychology; widening access: M2 in place of Grade B at A-level |
CAVA Access to HE (Medicine) | 60 credits overall including 30 credits at Distinction (15 in human biology or physiology units) + 15 credits at Merit — only GCSE requirements are Grade 6/B or above in English Language and Maths |
Other international qualifications | Assessed for comparability to UK qualifications using UK ENIC — contact admissions@plymouth.ac.uk before applying |
Scottish Highers: Plymouth explicitly does not accept Scottish Highers (without Advanced Highers) for entry onto the BMBS A100 course. Scottish applicants must hold AAA in Scottish Advanced Highers including Biology and a second science to be eligible.
Plymouth UCAT Requirements & Cut-Off Score (2026 Entry)
The UCAT is the most important single factor in determining whether you receive an interview invitation at Plymouth. Understanding exactly how Peninsula Medical School uses the UCAT — and what scores have historically been required — gives you a critical strategic advantage.
Key UCAT Rules at Plymouth
All A100 and A102 applicants must sit the UCAT in the year of application
UCAT must be sat in the same year as your UCAS application — previous years' results are not accepted
UCAT results are used alongside A-levels and GCSEs to select for interview
The Admissions Advisory Panel reserves the right to consider all aspects of the UCAT when shortlisting
The SJT (Situational Judgement Test) is NOT used in Plymouth's shortlisting process
No fixed cut-off is published in advance — Plymouth can only confirm the threshold after all applications are received and assessed
From 2026 entry (tested in 2025), the UCAT changed: Abstract Reasoning was removed; the test now comprises three cognitive subtests (Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making and Quantitative Reasoning) plus the SJT — all scored out of 2,700 total cognitive score
Plymouth Medicine Entry Requirements: What Is the Plymouth UCAT Cut-Off Score?
Plymouth is one of the few medical schools in the UK that publishes its historic UCAT cut-off scores — giving applicants a valuable benchmark. Note: the scores below for 2018–2023 were out of 3,600 (when Abstract Reasoning was included); from 2024 onwards, scores are out of 2,700.
2018 2,400 Home (out of 3,600) | 2019 2,330 Home (out of 3,600) | 2020 2,290 Home (out of 3,600) | 2021 2,400 Home (out of 3,600) |
2022 2,610 Home (out of 3,600) | 2023 Home 2,680 (out of 3,600) | 2023 Intl 2,440 (out of 3,600) | 2023 UKWPMED 2,330 (out of 3,600) |
2024 Home 2,210 (out of 2,700) | 2024 Intl 2,600 (out of 2,700) | 2024 UKWPMED 2,210 (out of 2,700) |
Dr. Bakhtar Ahmad's UCAT strategy: "The variability in Plymouth's UCAT cut-off is striking — 2,210 in 2024 versus 2,680 in 2023 (both out of 3,600 in those years). Do not be lulled into targeting 'just above the historic low'. Apply to meet the highest realistic cut-off, not the lowest. In the new 2,700 scoring system, a competitive score for Plymouth would be 2,300–2,500+. Plymouth does not use the SJT in shortlisting, so focus your preparation on the three cognitive subtests — Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making and Quantitative Reasoning. These are the sections that determine your Plymouth interview invitation."
Is Plymouth a Low UCAT University?
Plymouth is often described as a 'lower UCAT' medical school because its historic cut-offs have at times been below those of schools like Oxford (mean 2,377 shortlisted in 2025). However, this characterisation is misleading for two reasons:
Cut-offs vary significantly year to year — the 2022 cut-off of 2,610 (out of 3,600) would translate to a highly competitive score in any cycle
Plymouth's lower entry threshold for widening participation applicants (UKWPMED: 2,210 in 2024) does not apply to standard applicants
The most accurate answer is: Plymouth is UCAT-threshold-driven, transparent about past cut-offs, and has a lower academic grade requirement than the most selective medical schools — but a competitive UCAT score remains essential. Do not apply to Plymouth expecting a low UCAT score to be sufficient.
Plymouth Medicine Acceptance Rate & Admissions Statistics
Peninsula Medical School is a relatively small medical school in terms of annual intake. This means competition is significant despite the broader academic requirements.
~86–150 BMBS places available per year | 679 Applicants interviewed (2024 entry) | 419 Offers made (2024 entry) | 167 Places filled (2024 entry) |
Year | Applications | Interviews | Offers |
2023 (Home) | ~2,100 applications | ~600 interviews | ~200 offers |
2023 (International) | 158 applications | 30 interviews | 11 offers |
2022 (Home) | 2,171 applications | 649 interviews | 196 offers |
2022 (International) | 280 applications | 56 interviews | result not published |
2021 (Home) | 1,567 applications | 696 interviews | 297 offers |
2024 | 679 interviewed | 419 offers | 167 places filled |
Dr. Bakhtar Ahmad's perspective: "The 2024 data tells a revealing story — 419 offers were made, but only 167 places were filled. This means Plymouth holds substantial oversubscription in its offer-making because it knows many candidates will firm elsewhere. The practical implication: receiving an offer from Plymouth does not mean you automatically get a place. Plymouth is a realistic firm choice for many applicants, and competition at the interview stage — not just for shortlisting — is fierce."
Plymouth Medicine with Foundation Year (A102) — Entry Requirements
The BMBS Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery with Foundation Year (UCAS code A102) is a six-year course designed for widening participation applicants who do not fully meet the entry requirements for the standard A100 five-year BMBS. The Foundation Year (Year 0) gives students an additional year to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to succeed in the full medicine programme.
Who Is A102 For?
Applicants who do NOT fully meet the A-level AND GCSE requirements for A100
If you meet either the GCSE requirements or the A-level requirements for A100, but not both, you can still be considered for A102
Applicants must NOT have already completed a first degree — graduates are not eligible for A102
A-level qualifications considered only if completed within five years of the application cycle
A102 is a widening participation route — all applicants must meet contextual criteria (see below)
You cannot apply to both A100 and A102 — Plymouth will only consider one application per candidate; offers will not be made for both programmes
Plymouth Medicine Entry Requirements: A102 Contextual Criteria - Minimum 5 Points Required
All A102 applicants must score a minimum of 5 points from the contextual criteria below. This is a strict requirement — applicants who do not meet the contextual threshold are not eligible for A102.
Contextual Criterion | Points |
Being in care or care-experienced | 2 points |
In receipt of, or eligible for, free school meals at point of completing Level 3 qualifications | 2 points |
Refugee or asylum seeker status | 2 points |
Attending a low-performing school/college (16-18 'below' or 'well below average' classification) | 2 points |
In receipt of EMA or 16-19 bursary | 2 points |
In receipt of UCAT bursary | 2 points |
Living in IMD (Indices of Multiple Deprivation) areas 1–4 / 20% most deprived | 1 point |
Significant engagement in the Peninsula Pathways programme | 1 point |
Living in a POLAR4 quintile 1 low participation neighbourhood | 1 point |
South West resident (Cornwall, Devon, Dorset or Somerset) | 1 point |
In receipt of service pupil premium | 1 point |
Plymouth Medicine Entry Requirements: A102 UCAT Requirements
All A102 applicants must sit the UCAT in the year of application
UCAT results are used alongside A-levels and GCSEs to select A102 applicants for interview
A separate (typically lower) UCAT cut-off applies for A102 shortlisting
The SJT is not used in the A102 shortlisting process
The cut-off for A102 is set annually after all applications are received
Peninsula Pathways to Medicine Programme: The Peninsula Pathways programme is Plymouth's dedicated widening participation scheme. Significant engagement with this programme (completing the five-day summer work experience programme, joining the e-Mentoring scheme, and attending at least three workshops by end of Year 12) earns 1 contextual point for both A100 widening access and A102 eligibility. If you are from the South West and interested in Plymouth, engaging with this programme early in Year 12 is a smart move.
Plymouth Graduate Entry Medicine — GAMSAT & Plymouth Biomedical Science Routes
Plymouth offers two graduate entry pathways to the BMBS A100 course. Both are distinct from the standard A-level route and use different admissions criteria.
1. GAMSAT Entry Route
Peninsula Medical School uses the GAMSAT (Graduate Medical School Admissions Test) as an alternative entry route to A-levels for the A100 BMBS. Crucially, you do NOT need to be a graduate to apply via GAMSAT at Plymouth.
GAMSAT is accepted as an alternative to A-levels for entry to A100
Applicants do not need a degree to sit GAMSAT or apply via this route at Plymouth
GAMSAT results must be valid at the time of application (results are valid for two consecutive years)
If your A-level or equivalent qualifications are more than five years old, the GAMSAT route is the recommended pathway
UCAT and GCSE requirements still apply for GAMSAT applicants
The Admissions Advisory Panel considers all aspects of GAMSAT when assessing applications
2. Plymouth School of Biomedical Sciences Graduate Route
Graduates of specific Plymouth University School of Biomedical Sciences degree programmes have a dedicated entry route into the A100 BMBS:
Must have completed one of five specific BSc programmes at Plymouth's School of Biomedical Sciences (degree study at any other institution is NOT considered)
Alternatively, completion of Stage 1 of either the Plymouth Biomedical Science or Human Biosciences programme qualifies applicants
The degree must have been awarded no more than two years before the application cycle
Applicants via this route do not need to sit the GAMSAT
UCAT is still required
Contact Plymouth admissions for confirmation of eligible programmes
Dr. Bakhtar Ahmad's graduate advice: "Plymouth's GAMSAT route is notably accessible because you do not need to hold a degree to use it. If you have qualifications that are more than five years old — perhaps from a career change — GAMSAT gives you a credible pathway into Plymouth Medicine without having to repeat A-levels. GAMSAT is a substantial test requiring preparation in humanities, social science, biology and physical sciences. Start early and use official preparation materials from the ACER GAMSAT consortium."
Plymouth Medicine Entry Requirements: International Students
Peninsula Medical School warmly welcomes international students. The academic entry requirements mirror those for home students, with additional English language requirements.
Academic Requirements — International Students
International students must meet the equivalent of the home student academic requirements (A*AA–AAB including Biology and a second science)
Overseas qualifications are assessed for comparability to UK qualifications using UK ENIC
International applicants should contact admissions@plymouth.ac.uk before submitting a UCAS application to confirm qualification equivalence
UCAT is required — international applicants sit the UCAT at a Pearson VUE test centre in their country
A separate (higher) international UCAT cut-off applies — in 2024 it was 2,600 compared to 2,210 for home applicants
English Language Requirements
IELTS band 7.5 or above, with at least 7.0 in the Speaking and Listening sections (taken within 12 months of entry)
The IELTS indicator (online test) is not accepted — applicants must take IELTS at an approved test centre
IGCSE or GCSE English Language (as a first language) at Grade A/7 — a supplementary statement confirming Speaking and Listening components is required for IGCSE 0500/0990
IB score of 6 at ordinary level in English Language (as a first language)
If English is your first language, Plymouth will accept your home country's equivalent providing it is at Level C1 or above on the CEFR scale
International students note: The higher UCAT cut-off for international applicants (2,600 vs 2,210 in 2024) reflects the higher competition and limited international places. Aim for a UCAT score well above 2,400 in the new 2,700 scoring system to be competitive as an international applicant.
Plymouth Medicine Entry Requirements: Work Experience & Personal Statement at Interview
Work experience is not formally required or scored at any stage of Plymouth's shortlisting process. However, Plymouth does note that 'applicants may find some form of experience useful to draw upon when answering questions' at interview. The personal statement is used as an indicator of motivation, commitment and enthusiasm to study medicine — it is not scored for shortlisting, but its content may be explored during the MMI.
Dr. Bakhtar Ahmad's MMI advice for Plymouth: "Plymouth's MMI rewards applicants who think about medicine in the context of communities — not just hospitals. Peninsula Medical School's identity is deeply rooted in South West England, rural medicine, and understanding health inequality. In your station answers, bring in awareness of access to healthcare, the challenges of working in remote settings, and the social factors that affect health outcomes. This is not box-ticking — Plymouth's curriculum is genuinely built around this. Demonstrating that you understand why this matters will set you apart."
Frequently Asked Questions — Plymouth Medicine Entry Requirements
Q: What are the entry requirements for Plymouth University Medicine?
A: For the five-year BMBS A100 course, Plymouth requires: A*AA–AAB at A-level including Grade A in Biology and Grade A in a second science from Chemistry, Physics, Maths or Psychology (third A-level can be any subject except General Studies); 7 GCSEs at Grade C/4 or above including English Language, Maths and two science subjects; and UCAT sat in the year of application (SJT not used in shortlisting). Alternatively, GAMSAT or completion of specific Plymouth Biomedical Science programmes are accepted in place of A-levels. For widening access applicants (AAB), a minimum of 5 contextual points must be met.
Q: What is the UCAT score needed for Plymouth Medicine?
A: Plymouth publishes its historic UCAT cut-off scores as a guide. The most recent cut-off was 2,210 for home applicants in 2024 (out of 2,700, following the removal of Abstract Reasoning). In 2023, the home cut-off was 2,680 (out of the old 3,600 scoring system). International applicants face a higher cut-off — 2,600 in 2024. The UKWPMED scheme cut-off was 2,210 in 2024. Plymouth cannot confirm the cut-off for each year until all applications are received. Plymouth does not use the SJT in its UCAT shortlisting process.
Q: Is Plymouth Medicine hard to get into?
A: Plymouth Medicine is competitive. Around 679 applicants were interviewed in the 2024 entry cycle, with 419 offers made and 167 places filled. This reflects Plymouth's practice of over-offering to account for applicants who firm elsewhere. The academic offer (A*AA–AAB) is broader than more selective schools, but UCAT performance is the primary shortlisting tool — and the cut-off varies significantly each year. Plymouth also requires strong MMI performance. The international applicant pathway is particularly competitive, with higher UCAT cut-offs and limited places.
Q: Is Plymouth a low UCAT university?
A: Plymouth has historically had lower UCAT cut-offs than some schools, but this varies considerably year to year. In 2022, the cut-off was 2,610 (out of 3,600) — competitive by any measure. In 2024, it was 2,210 (out of 2,700 in the new system). Plymouth should not be selected purely on the basis of having a 'low UCAT'. A competitive application requires a strong UCAT combined with meeting academic requirements and performing well at MMI. The SJT is not used by Plymouth, which is a genuine strategic consideration if your SJT score is weaker than your cognitive subtests.
Q: What is the University of Plymouth Medicine with Foundation Year and what are the entry requirements?
A: The BMBS with Foundation Year (A102) is a six-year widening participation route for students who do not fully meet the A100 requirements and who meet Plymouth's contextual criteria. Applicants must score a minimum of 5 contextual points from Plymouth's criteria (e.g. being care-experienced, in receipt of free school meals, South West resident, low IMD area, POLAR4 quintile 1). UCAT is required. Applicants cannot hold offers for both A100 and A102. Graduates are not eligible. The Foundation Year prepares students for the five-year BMBS.
Q: What is Plymouth's contextual offer for widening participation applicants?
A: Plymouth's widening access contextual offer for A100 is AAB (reduced from the standard A*AA–AAA), including Grade A in Biology and Grade A in a second science. Applicants must accumulate a minimum of 5 contextual points from Plymouth's criteria. Criteria worth 2 points include: being in care or care-experienced; being in receipt of free school meals; refugee/asylum seeker status; attending a low-performing school; and holding a UCAT, EMA or 16-19 bursary. Criteria worth 1 point include: living in an IMD 1–4 area; significant Peninsula Pathways engagement; POLAR4 quintile 1 postcode; South West residency; and service pupil premium. UCAT and GCSE requirements remain the same for all applicants, including contextual applicants.
Q: What are the Plymouth medicine UCAT entry requirements for 2026?
A: For 2026 entry (UCAT tested in 2025), Plymouth requires UCAT to be sat in the year of application. For the first time, the UCAT used for 2026 entry excluded Abstract Reasoning — the test comprised three cognitive subtests (Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making and Quantitative Reasoning) plus the SJT, with a total cognitive score out of 2,700. Plymouth does not use the SJT in its shortlisting process. The specific cut-off for 2026 entry cannot be confirmed until all applications are assessed. The most recent published cut-off (2024 entry) was 2,210 for home applicants.
Q: What is Plymouth Medicine graduate entry — what are the requirements?
A: Plymouth offers two graduate pathways into A100. First, via GAMSAT (Graduate Medical School Admissions Test) — uniquely at Plymouth, you do not need to be a graduate to apply via GAMSAT; if your A-level qualifications are more than five years old, this is the recommended route. Second, graduates of specific Plymouth School of Biomedical Sciences BSc programmes can apply directly to A100 without GAMSAT (degree awarded within two years of application). Degree study at any other institution is not considered for this route. UCAT and GCSE requirements still apply for both graduate routes.
Q: How do I contact Plymouth Medicine admissions?
A: Plymouth Medical School admissions can be contacted at admissions@plymouth.ac.uk. International applicants are specifically directed to contact admissions before submitting a UCAS application to confirm their qualification equivalence. Evidence for contextual criteria (care experience, free school meals, etc.) should also be submitted to this email address at the point of UCAS application.
