Admissions Test (GAMSAT or UCAT)
All applicants are required to meet a minimum threshold score in either the Graduate Medical School Admissions Test (GAMSAT) or the University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT).
The GAMSAT must be taken within the two years prior to the applicant's UCAS submission date. The UCAT must be taken in the same year as the applicant's UCAS submission date. The results will be made available to the admissions team in the November prior to the applicant's intended entry to the programme.
Please note: that UCAT scores for 2025 will be different due to the removal of the abstract reasoning section.
This means that the test scores will have a lower maximum total cognitive score (2700 rather than 3600). This is likely to have an impact on the UCAT scores used in our admissions process so please bear that in mind when looking at the admissions information or 2026-27 admissions on the website.
