How much does the UCAT cost?
£70 at a UK test centre and £115 outside the UK. The fee depends on where you sit, not where you live. A bursary pays the whole fee if you qualify. Official practice tests are free.
What you pay
| Where you sit | Test fee |
|---|---|
| UK test centre | £70 |
| Outside the UK | £115 |
One fee covers the whole test: all four subtests and your score report, sent to every UK university you apply to.
The bursary
The UCAT bursary waives the whole fee for UK candidates who get a qualifying award or means-tested benefit, such as free school meals or the 16 to 19 Bursary. One bursary per test cycle. Approved after paying? Ask for a refund in your UCAT account.
