Biomedical Admissions Test (BMAT)

Course details

The purpose of the Biomedical Admissions Test is solely to provide an assessment of candidates’ potential in an academically demanding undergraduate biomedical degree, and not their fitness to practice medicine or veterinary medicine - which universities will continue to assess in other ways.

The test results are intended to be used as a significant component of the selection decision in conjunction with other public examination performance, evidence from the UCAS form and performance in interview.  Test items draw upon generic academic skills and basic science knowledge rather than recent specialist teaching and provide an objective basis for comparing candidates from different backgrounds, including mature applicants and those from different countries.  The test is designed to be challenging, in order to discriminate effectively between able applicants for university courses, including those who may have achieved the highest possible grades in school examinations.  This course aims to prepare the students for the Biomedical Admissions Test.
