International Candidates
-
Consortium Universities normally expect international applicants to take the test, which could mean travelling to another country. The UCAT is delivered in Pearson VUE test centres throughout the UK and in many international countries.
-
If travel to a test centre is difficult because of distance, pandemic, war, civil unrest or natural disaster you should contact the UCAT Office for advice before booking a test.
UCAT Consortium Universities
The UCAT is a compulsory entry requirement for our UK Consortium Universities and our non-UK Associate Member Universities.
You should always check the specific entry requirements for each course before booking a test. Some universities may have different requirements for overseas or graduate applicants.
