The entry fee for BMAT – September is higher than for BMAT – November because it includes the test fee and a fee that is paid to the centre to run the test. There is no late entry, so no late entry fees apply.

Can’t afford the entry fee?

Institutions using BMAT want to make sure that the entry fee is not a barrier to access or widening participation. In some cases, we can reimburse the BMAT fee based on ability to pay. You will need to book your test online and pay the entry fee, which will be reimbursed to you in full if you are eligible for reimbursement.

How can I get my fee reimbursed?

To apply for a reimbursement you need to complete the BMAT reimbursement application form. The reimbursement application deadline for BMAT – September is 24 July 2020.
