MAT dates 2021

The dates of the MAT test cycle are designed to fit in with the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) cycle for applications to the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge.

Please note: we reserve the right to make changes to these dates.

*If the registration deadline falls on a public or national holiday, please be aware there is no extension to the registration period. Therefore, you must ensure your test centre registers you for the test in good time. 

Reminder: the 15 October deadline is the last date for test centres to register you for the test, so you will need to register with a test centre well before then. Test centres may set their own deadline in advance for accepting registrations, so please make sure you speak to them as early as possible.

**For international test centres the scheduled start times will vary, depending upon where they are in the world.

MAT costs 2021

Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing does not charge candidates who have applied to a course requiring the MAT at the University of Oxford.

Some centres charge an administration fee to candidates sitting the MAT which covers the cost of invigilation, despatch costs and room hire which are essential for running the test: contact your centre for details.
