UMS% (or Science UMS = SUMS% for medicine) is taken as an average - not a minimum.

But see this for a breakdown of SUMS% attainment for Medicine Offer holders vs Applicants.

To be clear, if you have one (or 2) modules below 90 it won't necessarily be a problem.

Thank You! Just to be sure, is SUMS the sum of your best 3 modules? and how is it used in the application process? and where did you get this data from?:smile:

It's not modules, it is subjects.

And it's the average, not the sum. SUMS% = Sciences Uniform MarkS%

All maths modules are averaged first to give the MUMS% (Maths UMS average %). Then averaged with next 2 best sciences.
