The UCAT, or University Clinical Aptitude Test, is a standardized test that is required for admission to most medical schools in the UK. However, there are a few medical schools that do not require the UCAT.

If you are interested in studying medicine in the UK but do not want to take the UCAT, there are a few options available to you.

  • Apply to a medical school that does not require the UCAT. There are currently two medical schools in the UK that do not require the UCAT:
  • The University of Buckingham Medical School
  • The University of Central Lancashire Medical School
  • Sit the BMAT instead of the UCAT. The BMAT, or BioMedical Admissions Test, is an alternative admissions test that is used by a few medical schools in the UK. The BMAT is similar to the UCAT, but it focuses more on academic skills and knowledge.
  • Consider other healthcare courses. If you are not interested in studying medicine, there are a number of other healthcare courses that you can study in the UK without taking the UCAT. These courses include:
  • Nursing
  • Physiotherapy
  • Occupational therapy
  • Pharmacy

If you are considering studying in the UK without taking the UCAT, it is important to do your research and make sure that you are choosing the right course for you. You should also contact the admissions departments of the medical schools that you are interested in to find out more about their specific requirements.
