Test voucher codes (UK only)

UK students in financial need can take the October admissions tests for free at one of the British Council authorised test centres in the UK. Students who meet the criteria will need to apply to us for a test voucher code that they can use instead of payment in your online booking with the British Council.

We are no longer delivering the following tests on behalf of the University of Oxford:

  • Classics Admissions Test (CAT)
  • Oxford ELAT

Reforms to Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing from 2024

From 2024 we will withdraw from running the series of October admissions tests, including BMAT, ENGAA, NSAA, TMUA and TSA Oxford.

The universities using these tests will clearly communicate information about ongoing admissions testing as they put new arrangements in place.

We will provide a further update in the coming months.
