*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 centre registers you for the test in good time.
Reminder: the 15 October deadline is the last date for centres to register you for the test, so you will need to register with a centre well before then. 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 centres the scheduled start times will vary, depending upon where they are in the world.

Please note: we reserve the right to make changes to these costs. Some centres add an administration fee to the test entry fee, which covers the cost of invigilation, despatch costs and room hire which are essential for running the test: contact your centre for details.
Can’t afford the entry fee?
Institutions using TMUA want to make sure that the entry fee is not a barrier to access or widening participation. In some cases, we can reimburse TMUA's fee based on ability to pay. You will need to pay your test centre your entry fee, which will be reimbursed to you if you are eligible for reimbursement. Late entry fees and administration fees cannot be reimbursed.
How can I get my fee reimbursed?
To apply for a reimbursement you need to complete the TMUA reimbursement application form. The reimbursement application deadline is 15 October 2020.
