About the University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT)

The University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT) is a computer-based admissions test, established in 2006 by a consortium of leading UK universities to help achieve greater fairness in selection.

The UCAT is used by a consortium of UK and Partner Universities to help select applicants to their medical and dental degree programmes.

Around 37,000 candidates sit the UCAT each year in Pearson VUE test centres throughout the UK and worldwide.

Candidates should start with the UCAT Essentials which will guide them through all the important steps in completing their UCAT journey.
