Section 04

入試テスト

Student working through problems at a desk with timed papers

Cambridge’s current official wording for Medicine (Standard Course A100) lists the University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT).

The UCAT is delivered by the UCAT Consortium through Pearson VUE test centres.

The required UCAT components are Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning and Situational Judgement.

For A100 UCAT results, Cambridge says it will look at the applicant’s overall cognitive subtest score and will not use the Situational Judgement score as part of its 2027 assessment.

For 2026 testing, UCAT account registration opens on 20 May 2026 at 14:00 UK time, booking opens on 23 June 2026, and registration/booking closes on 16 September 2026 at 15:00 UK time.

The UCAT testing window for this cycle is 13 July 2026 to 24 September 2026.

The test matters because Cambridge says UCAT is used as part of selection for interview and offers, with no minimum UCAT threshold.

For international applicants, the UCAT gives Cambridge a common admissions-test measure across different school systems. In reality, that makes preparation and test-centre logistics part of the application, not a side task.

Question Types You’ll See

Chemistry or biochemistry problemFirst-principles physics or maths questionEthical scenarioDiscussion of work-experience reflections

Cambridge Medicine interviews involve academic discussion with scientific problem-solving plus Medicine-specific professional, communication and ethical assessment.

Subject-specific interviews commonly involve two or three interviewers, and Medicine selection should include at least one current practitioner across the process.

The location is College-specific, and interviews may be online or in person depending on College.

We recommend preparing by explaining unfamiliar biological or chemical material aloud, because the interview is a discussion rather than a memorised speech.

It helps to practise moving from evidence to judgement: what you know, what you are assuming, what else you would want to check, and how that affects a clinical or ethical conclusion.

Section 06

合否決定のしくみ

Cambridge describes the decision process for this as whole-application review, with interview, academic record and UCAT cognitive score as major evidence streams.

In reality, a strong application needs consistency across the academic record, the admissions test and the interview. One weaker element is easier to manage when the rest of the file gives assessors clear evidence of scientific ability and professional readiness.

Section 07

Personal Statement のコツ

Handwritten notes and a laptop open to a draft document

We recommend writing the Medicine personal statement as evidence, not autobiography. A strong paragraph usually links one experience to one observation and one change in your thinking.

Because Cambridge strongly recommends paid or voluntary work experience in a health or social care organisation, use work experience to show what you learned about patients, teams, uncertainty and responsibility.

Avoid generic claims about wanting to help people. It is better to describe a specific moment that changed how you understood communication, consent, public health, ageing, disability, or clinical pressure.

For a Cambridge applicant, the scientific side matters too. Use your statement to show that you read, questioned and followed up, rather than simply listing books, lectures or hospital observations.

A useful Medicine project does not need to be formal research. It can be a structured piece of reading, a reflective work-experience log, a comparison of two public-health interventions, or a short investigation into a biological mechanism.

Choose something narrow enough to explain clearly. A focused question usually gives you more to discuss than a broad topic such as “cancer” or “the NHS”.

Section 08

その他のサプリキュラム

Other supercurricular work should deepen your understanding of medicine as science and practice. It should not become a long activity list.

These activities are support, not substitute.

  • Read around one biological system until you can explain the mechanism in ordinary language.:

  • Keep a short log after work experience, focusing on observation and reflection rather than patient details.:

  • Use official UCAT preparation materials early enough to identify weak subtests.:

  • Follow one medical ethics issue through more than one viewpoint.:

  • Practise explaining quantitative information clearly.:

Section 08

コンペティション

Competitions are not required for Cambridge Medicine. They can stretch you when the preparation teaches useful science, problem-solving or communication.

A biology or chemistry competition can be worth doing if it supports a specific learning goal, but one or two thoughtful activities beat five half-attempted lines on an application.

  1. British Biology Olympiad — national biology competition testing depth beyond A-level; strong preparation for Cambridge's science-based interviews
  2. UK Brain Bee — national neuroscience competition; develops knowledge of the nervous system and introduces research-level thinking
  3. Nuffield Research Placements — six-week research placement in a university or research institute; provides authentic scientific experience and interview material
  4. Biology Challenge — RSB competition for Year 10–12 students; accessible entry point before attempting the full Olympiad
  5. Intermediate Biology Olympiad — extended biology competition for Year 12; tests biological reasoning at an appropriate step up from A-level
  6. RSC UK Chemistry Olympiad — chemistry competition that develops problem-solving beyond the standard curriculum; useful since Medicine requires strong chemistry

Medicineの知識を深める

Start with the Cambridge Medicine course page, because it is the verified official source for the A100 course identity, entry requirements and course structure in this.

Use the UCAT official practice tests and question banks for admissions-test preparation, because the current verified admissions test for Cambridge Medicine A100 is UCAT.

The Medical Schools Council work experience guidance is useful because Cambridge strongly recommends work experience before applying, paid or voluntary, in a health or social care organisation.

Keep notes short enough that you can revisit them before interview.

カレッジ選択と再振り分け

29 colleges offer this subject. 10.2% (2024 cycle; 2,257 open applications out of 22,153 direct plus open applications) of applicants submit an open application. 20.6% (2024 cycle; 4,557 Winter Pooled applications out of 22,153 direct plus open applications) of places come through the pool.

College choice can affect assessment handling, interview arrangements and College-specific Medicine subject requirements.

The Winter Pool moderates across Colleges, and the 2024 statistics verify 4,557 Winter Pooled applications and 986 offers via the Winter Pool.

In the 2024 cycle, open applications were 10.2% of direct plus open applications, and Winter Pooled applications were 20.6% of direct plus open applications.

We recommend choosing a College only after checking its Medicine subject requirements. The College should fit your academic profile; it should not be a substitute for meeting the course requirements.

Section 12

卒業後のキャリア

Discover Uni reports 99% work or study 15 months after the Cambridge MB, BChir Medicine course, with 97% of employed graduates in highly skilled work and 94% working as medical practitioners.

Cambridge also highlights readiness for careers across general practice, medicine, psychiatry and other specialties, with an MB/PhD route for academic research careers.

Section 13

特別な事情について

For 15 October applicants, extenuating-circumstances evidence must reach Cambridge by 22 October 2026 for 2027 entry.

Medicine offer-holders must satisfy professional checks including DBS or overseas equivalent, vaccination, blood test and occupational-health requirements, and must be 18 by 1 November in Year 1.

If your school did not offer the subject combination you wanted, or if illness, caring responsibilities or disruption affected your record, it helps to make that context clear through the appropriate school and admissions channels.
