BMAT for biomedical sciences?

I was told by my careers adviser that I don't need to do BMAT for biomedical sciences and I read somewhere else that I do. I'm very confused! :eek:

Please help?

Only at Imperial, maybe Oxbridge - but check that on their website.

You will only need to do BMAT for Biomed if you apply to Imperial.
At least, that's the only place I saw that needed it.

I'm in the same boat as you. Someone told me they do but I can't seem to find it on their website anywhere :/

Hi Guys,

I have been offered a place on the Access to Medicine and Medical Biosciences course at City and Islington College.

The universities in London that require BMAT are:

UCL
Imperial.

You can find this on the website www.kaptest.co.uk/courses/uk-university/bmat/test/information

Hope that helps!

Regards,

Mel.

No they don't.

You quoted a website saying they require it for medicine, not for biomed.

Apologies, you are correct!....Sorry I am new to all this and somewhat confused! I have to do the BMAT before I start my Access course in September at City and Islington College for Access to Medicine and Medical Bioscience! I have to arrange to do it at an independent centre and show evidence of my score when I start the course!That is what I was told! Even though I do not wish to go in to medicine it is for uni apps and to assess your potential....I want to do the 3yr Biomed degree after the Access....

Regards,

Mel.

It is needed for Imperial http://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/ug/courses/school-of-medicine/biomedical-science/ and I can't see it on UCL's page. Not that that means it's not required. This is quite a while after the original question I realise but I was looking for an answer to this for 2016 entry so it is still important information now!

I haven't had to do one, but it probably differs from uni to uni. If you're not sure maybe contact the head of the department just to be safe?

Hi i hope this thread is still going on. I know that only some colleges require BMAT for biomedical science. But lets say we took BMAT, but we apply to a uni that doesn't require it. Will that give an advantage or will it be redundant?
