JUPAS themed collection
Small Cohorts
The smallest cohorts in the system — sometimes only a dozen places a year. Intimate teaching and tight-knit classes, but tiny intakes leave little margin for error.
Selection criteria
Sorted by the JUPAS-published first-year intake for 2026 entry, smallest first; combined-figure publications are flagged.
368 programmes match the criteria; the top 20 are listed below.
The bracketed percentage = the programme's admission median ÷ that programme's OWN full mark (theoretical maximum weighted score). Institutions publish scores on different scales, so this percentage is what makes them comparable; it is omitted where the full mark cannot be derived.
