About the exam

What is BMAT?

BMAT was required for Medicine at Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College London and UCL, with a Scientific Knowledge and Applications section full of mathematical calculation. It was discontinued after the 2024 sitting, and these universities now use the UCAT.

Patterns and dates can change — always confirm the latest details with the official exam body.
