UCAT 2020 update

As part of the entry requirements for our Medicine MBBS and Dentistry BDS programmes, we require applicants to sit the UCAT (University Clinical Aptitude Test).

For 2020, students have the choice to sit the test at home (UCAT Online) or at a Pearson VUE Test Centre. There is no difference between the test sat at home and in test centres.

Preparing for the test

There is no change to the test content and candidates can now start preparing for the test.

We recommend that candidates use the free, official Practice Tests and Resources on the UCAT website.
