Dear Savinder

I am writing in response to your Freedom of Information request dated
27^th September 2019 in which you requested information regarding BDS UCAT
scores. 

For ease of reference, I have reproduced your question below and set out
our corresponding response.

Under the FOI act, please can you confirm what your 'average accepted'
UCAT score and UCAT cut off score was for Dentistry BDS in 2018.

In regards to the UCAT score there is not a minimum requirement (or cut
off score) Cardiff University expects. The score is used as a tool to
distinguish between candidates that may be similar in their academic
achievements. Along with the UCAT score an applicant’s personal statement,
academic achievements and multiple mini interview scores are also taken
into consideration.

I trust this information satisfies your enquiry.  The University has a
Freedom of Information Complaints Procedure should you feel dissatisfied
with this response or the way in which your request was handled.
Complaints must be made in writing and must set out why you believe the
University has not met its obligations under the Freedom of Information
Act.  You may email your complaint to [1][email address] where
it will be forwarded to the Director of Strategic Planning and Governance
who will be responsible for overseeing the review.

If you remain dissatisfied following the outcome of your complaint, you
have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for
consideration.  The Information Commissioner can be contacted at the
following address: Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House,
Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in
Cardiff University. If you require further assistance please feel free to
contact me.

Yours sincerely
