The UCAT (University Clinical Aptitude Test) is an admissions test required by the majority of UK medical and dental schools. Students in France who are applying to UK universities will almost always need to take the UCAT as part of their application.
2 / Can I prepare for the UCAT while studying in France?
Yes — and many of our students do. All of our UCAT tutoring is delivered online, making it easy for students in France to access expert support from Oxbridge-trained medical tutors. Our lessons are fully interactive, with real-time strategy coaching, mock questions, and targeted feedback.
3 / Who will be teaching me?
All of our UCAT tutors are medical students or doctors from top UK universities, including the University of Cambridge. They've scored in the top percentiles of the UCAT themselves and are experienced in helping international students improve rapidly and confidently.
