UCAT Programme

The admissions test programme delivered independently of A Level teaching, for students studying elsewhere. Preparation is scheduled against the testing window rather than at a convenient point in the academic year, and covers the current four-subtest format.

Programme Content

  • Verbal Reasoning
  • Decision Making
  • Quantitative Reasoning
  • Situational Judgement

Intensive preparation is scheduled to coincide with the July to September testing window. The programme is short and is charged either as a single payment of £1,250 or as three payments of £450. A ten-month payment option is not available.

Timing Requirements

  • A UCAT score is valid for one admissions cycle only. A score cannot be held over to a subsequent cycle.
  • Booking closes well before the final test day, and the UCAS deadline follows within weeks. Missing the booking window means missing the cycle.
  • The £70 UCAT registration fee is paid directly to UCAT and does not form part of the college fee. A full bursary is available to applicants who qualify, on the same evidence basis as the college hardship rate.

Applicants uncertain whether they remain within the current cycle should contact the college before enrolling on any programme. Contact admissions.
