What is UCAT and who needs to take it?

The UCAT (University Clinical Aptitude Test) is a computer-based admissions test used by many UK and partner universities to select students for medicine and dentistry degree programmes. It assesses skills important for medical and dental study, including Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning, and Situational Judgement.

You need to take the UCAT if you are applying to a medical or dental course that lists it as an admissions requirement. This includes international students applying from Dubai or elsewhere in the UAE to relevant UK universities. Always check the specific entry requirements of your chosen universities, as UCAT requirements can vary by course and admissions cycle. Contact us today.
