Applicants can register to sit the UCAT by creating a UCAT account (from 13 May 2025) and then booking a test from 17 June 2025. The test is usually taken between July and September. For more information about registering for the UCAT, please see UCAT's pages on booking a test.
The registration and booking deadline for the UCAT is 19 September 2025 (12 noon BST).
The UCAT is delivered in Pearson VUE test centres throughout the UK and internationally. A list of all available test centres can be found using the Pearson VUE Test Centre Locator.
Registration for this test is separate from the submission of your UCAS application, and it is your responsibility to ensure that you are registered. You will need to create your own UCAT account and book a test date within the testing window.
We strongly recommend making arrangements in plenty of time before the deadline.
Please visit the Medical Sciences Division's dedicated pages on the UCAT for further details. If you are applying to other universities who also require the UCAT, you only need to take the test once.
Applicants for Medicine (A100) and Medicine (graduate entry) (A101) for courses starting in 2026 will need to sit the UCAT between 7 July and 26 September 2025.
You will receive your results either on the day you sit the test or shortly after.
We will receive your UCAT results automatically so there is no need to inform us directly of your results or include them on your UCAS application. As tutors conducting interviews will not be aware of applicants' UCAT scores, we also ask that you do not include your score on your UCAS application.
UCAT publishes preliminary mean score and deciles in mid-September, with final scores published after testing ends.
