Important update: the BioMedical Admissions Test (BMAT) was discontinued after its final sitting in October 2023. It is not an admissions test for 2026 or 2027 UK medical-school entry.

Universities that previously used BMAT have changed their selection arrangements, with former BMAT medical schools moving to the UCAT for current undergraduate medicine admissions. Applicants should prepare for the current UCAT format rather than using BMAT past papers as their principal admissions-test preparation.

Admissions policies, UCAT thresholds and weighting methods can change between cycles. Always check the official admissions page for each university before applying, and use Medical School UK’s current UCAT and entry-requirements guidance to compare your options.
