Are you thinking of applying to study medicine or dentistry?  

 

Most UK universities require applicants to sit an admissions test in addition to their other entry requirements. The UCAT (previously known as the UKCAT) is required by the majority of UK universities and must be sat in the summer of 2019 by students who want to apply to member universities for entry in 2020. 

What is UCAT?

The UCAT is a mandatory admissions test for the majority of UK medical and dental schools. Students sit the test during the summer before they submit their UCAS application in October. 

Which Uni's require the UCAT?

30 UK universities now require applicants to sit the UCAT as part of their mandatory admissions process. UCAT scores are then considered alongside academic grades and other relevant entry criteria.


Key Dates for 2019
Registration opens in early May 2019 and testing takes place over the summer between 1st July - 2nd October 2019.


Where can students sit the test?
The test is sat at a Pearson VUE registered test centre (similar to where students would sit their driving theory test).


What do students need to do NOW?

Don't worry if this is the first you've heard of the UCAT, there's still plenty of time for students to register and sit the test this summer before applying to university to study Medicine or Dentistry.
