UCAT UK admissions guide

Annual UCAT date guidance, practical preparation steps, and separate Oxford and UCL Medicine requirement records. The available repository record does not establish the current format, and former BMAT use is handled institution by institution.

Check the exact course before booking.

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

Official sources

Each link goes to the official test owner, institution, or official report. A test-owner page does not establish a university course requirement; that requires an institution source.

  1. UCAT 2026 test dates

    UCAT Consortium · checked 2026-08-11 · next review 2026-09-01

    Use for the named 2026 UCAT cycle and current UCAT naming. It does not establish the test format or a course requirement; course requirements still need the institution's page.

  2. Admissions tests

    University of Oxford · checked 2026-08-11 · next review 2026-09-01

    Use only for Oxford entry-year and course requirements. It must not be generalized to other universities or courses.

  3. Tests, tasks and interviews

    University College London · checked 2026-08-11 · next review 2026-09-01

    Use only for UCL courses and the entry cycle stated by UCL. It must not be generalized to other institutions.
