See the course →New international-only MBBS at St Mary's University Twickenham, first cohort September 2026, taken by direct application rather than through UCAS. Still working toward GMC accreditation.
International (non-UK/Irish) applicants only, applying direct rather than through UCAS, so it costs none of your four UCAS medical choices. Weigh that against the accreditation risk: the MBBS is not yet GMC-accredited, and St Mary's contingency is that students would transfer to the University of Lancashire if accreditation is not achieved.
Format: Multiple Mini Interviews (MMI)
Applications are scored on academic record and admissions tests to produce a shortlisting rank. Interviews are online Multiple Mini Interviews (MMIs).
Founded in 2025. Based in Twickenham, London.

What is TrueScore?
A data-driven estimate of the UCAT score you'll likely need to be invited to interview at St Mary's Twickenham for 2027 entry entry — based on its published cut-offs and recent admissions data. Treat it as a target to aim past, not a guarantee.
St Mary's Twickenham's international-tier TrueScore is 1700. Build a week-by-week UCAT plan that works back from your test date — free for the first two weeks.
UCAT used as part of combined admissions test + academic ranking for shortlisting. No published cut-off. SJT not mentioned in policy. New school for 2026 entry - methodology may evolve.
No usage mentioned in any selection policy
International-only intake. Can be applied to alongside the 4 standard UCAS medical choices, with no opportunity cost.
International (non-UK/Irish) applicants only. No SJT use stated. Any quoted 'cut-off' for this school is guesswork - it has not yet completed an admissions cycle.
Like other new international-only schools, this is a low-risk addition to your existing UCAS choices. As a brand-new course, cut-offs are unpredictable; aim higher than any quoted threshold and treat the application seriously rather than as a backup.
