Most UK universities require applicants to sit an admissions test
in addition to their other entry requirements.
The UK Clinical
Aptitude Test (UKCAT)
is required by the majority of University Medical and Dental schools in the
UK and must be sat
in the summer of 2017 by candidates who want to apply to
member universities for
entry in 2018 (or deferred entry in 2019).

What
is the UKCAT?
|
|
|
The UKCAT helps
universities to make more informed choices from amongst the many
highly-qualified applicants to medical and dental programmes.
It is used in collaboration with other admissions processes such as the
UCAS application and academic qualifications.
The UKCAT is a computer-based test. It does not contain any curriculum or
science content but instead focuses on exploring the cognitive powers of
candidates and other attributes considered to be valuable for health care
professionals.

should sit the test?

|
|
A full list of
universities / courses that require the UKCAT is available on our website.

application in October.

We have created
a Candidate Preparation Toolkit to help students prepare for the test.
This includes an Official Guide, a Question Tutorial, Practice Tests, a
Practice App (for iPhone and Android) and a selection of videos on our YouTube channel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We have also
produced an Adviser Toolkit for schools and colleges. This contains the
UKCAT Official Guide, a poster and leaflet plus a presentation and two
tutorials to help you advise and prepare students who might be sitting
the test.
