What is BMAT?

The BioMedical Admissions Test (BMAT) is used by universities around the world to help select applicants for medical, dental, biomedical and veterinary degree programmes.

It tests your ability to apply scientific and mathematical knowledge, as well as problem solving, critical thinking and written communication skills that are essential to university-level study.

BMAT gives you the opportunity to stand out from the crowd and show universities what you can do.

When can I take BMAT?

There are several BMAT sessions throughout the year and different universities accept different sessions, depending on their admissions cycle. It is important to know which one(s) you can take as part of your application.

Find out how to choose a test session

Once you know which BMAT session is right for you, visit the test session pages (March, October, Malaysia or Netherlands) for information on:

  • the test format and how the test is scored 
  • key dates and costs 
  • how to register 
  • what to expect on the test day 
  • how to access your test results.
