ESAT UK admissions guide

ESAT date sources, practical preparation guidance, and scoped 2027-entry requirements. Module choices are controlled by the exact course, while the available repository records do not establish the full current format.

Check the exact course before booking.

The test owner controls the test; the institution controls whether your course requires it and by when.

Transition history

pat → esat
Oxford's named 2027-entry course group moved from PAT to course-specified ESAT modules. This is not a universal PAT-to-ESAT rule.
