How do universities get your UCAT result?

Automatically. After 15 October, UCAT matches your details with UCAS to find your choices, then sends your result to those universities in early November. You do not send it or put it on your UCAS form.

Make sure the match works

  • Use the same name and date of birth on UCAT and UCAS.
  • If they differ, UCAT cannot find your choices.
  • If that happens, email each university your UCAT candidate ID: UKCAT and six digits.
