What is distinctive about Plymouth (Medicine)
Plymouth breaks the assumption underneath the whole graduate-entry category. You do not need to be a graduate; the university says so directly, and a prior degree is explicitly not considered in selection. The GAMSAT is the academic evidence.
Its most recent published cutoff is 52 for 2024 entry, with section figures of 43, 43 and 48. That page has not moved for two cycles, so treat the 52 as a historical marker rather than a live bar — the pool has turned over twice since.
Plymouth publishes no separate overall minimum and no section minimum. The cutoff and its section figures are the whole of what exists. A100 through UCAS, deadline 15 October at 18:00.

How Plymouth (Medicine) scores the GAMSAT
This institution uses ACER's published overall score.
| Scoring method | Formula used | What that means for you |
|---|---|---|
| ACER's weighted overall score | (S1 + S2 + 2 × S3) ÷ 4 | The overall score printed on your ACER statement of results. Section 3 counts double. This is the default across the market, which is exactly why the institutions that depart from it catch people out. |
Plymouth (Medicine) does not publish how the GAMSAT is weighted against the rest of the application. Not published is the honest answer; we do not estimate it.
