How Brunel selects for interview
Selection & shortlisting
- Once you pass the academic gate, your UCAT total is the entire ranking - the highest scorers are invited first until the cycle's target is met.1
- Predicted A-Levels are part of the initial eligibility screen alongside widening-access checks; Brunel doesn't disclose the details, and the ranking itself is by UCAT.
- If you apply without a current UCAT or GAMSAT score, you may still be invited if places remain - you're ranked on your predicted or achieved grades instead.3
- The personal statement isn't scored.
- The threshold depends on each year's applicants - our estimate is that around 2000 gives a realistic chance of an interview.1
- +5% UCAT uplift for widening-participation applicants, applied before ranking for interview.3
- Home and international applicants are ranked separately.3
Contextual eligibilityView policy
You count as contextual here if any one of these applies:
What it changes: If you succeed at the virtual MMI, you may receive a lower contextualised offer; Brunel doesn't state the size of the reduction.
Interview & offer
Interview & decision
- Your interview is a virtual MMI - six online stations, each 7 minutes (2 reading + 5 on the task), run asynchronously (you record your answers - there's no live interviewer) between December and July.4
- After interview, offers are decided on virtual MMI performance alone - ranked by total score, with no minimum number of stations to pass. Your UCAT doesn't carry into the offer decision.1
- Deferred entry isn't normally considered, at application or post-offer.3
Conditional offer
- Conditional offer: AAA - including Chemistry or Biology and a second science.1
