Case studies and testimonials

‘BMAT is proven, ethically aligned and most importantly it is fair; it gives our applicants the best possible opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge, excellence and potential, whatever their social backgrounds or educational chronology. We are confident that BMAT will help us to get the right undergraduates from amongst the brightest candidates.’

‘Our admissions decision-making has been supported by the introduction of assessments. They provide a way of assessing our applicants against the same criteria, and the fact that we publish everything about the assessment, such as support materials, means that it’s available to everyone – which helps with widening participation. The assessments have helped to maintain the transparency of the University’s admissions process and colleges’ decision-making, which reassures parents and schools alike.’

Director of Admissions for the Cambridge Colleges,
University of Cambridge, UK

‘UTP takes pride in nurturing students who are not only technically competent, but who are also able to exercise the ability to think critically and synthesize solutions for real world problems. Cambridge Personal Styles Questionnaire (CPSQ) dimensions have been particularly helpful in providing us greater insight into the candidate’s personality and potential, and how they are likely to approach learning at the university. All in all, CPSQ and the Thinking Skills Assessment (TSA) keep pace with what UTP is looking for today, measuring the skills required for success in the 21st century.’
