Oxford 2027 entry · checked 31 July 2026

Oxford admissions tests changed for 2027

Oxford no longer sets the PAT, MAT, TSA, BMSAT, CAT, MLAT, PhilAT or AHCAAT. For 2027 entry those courses sit ESAT, TMUA, TARA or no test. The LNAT and UCAT are unchanged.

Only courses on the UAT-UK 2027 list appear above. A course missing from it sits no UAT-UK test: Materials Science, for one, dropped its requirement. Check your own course page. Law still sits the LNAT and Medicine the UCAT; neither is run by UAT-UK. Written work and interviews may still apply.

Old papers still have a use

Oxford keeps MAT and PAT papers online. Use them for problem solving, then practise the timing and syllabus of the test you actually sit.
