Registration Fees & Bursaries
The Bursary application process for the 2009 Test Delivery year is now closed.
The cost to sit the UKCAT is £60 for candidates taking the test in the
European Union (EU) before 31st August 2009 and £95 for other candidates.
Between 1st September and 9th October 2009 the cost is £75.00 for candidates
taking the UKCAT in the EU.
Please note that the registration and test fees depend on the test centre location, not on your place of residence or nationality.
The registration fee is payable online at the time of booking by major credit
card (Visa, Mastercard or UK Visa debit card). The fee is always charged in
GBP (pounds sterling). If you have a non-UK credit card, your credit card company
will bill you according to its own rules for foreign transactions.
If you or your parents do not have access to a Visa, MasterCard credit card
or UK Visa debit card to pay for the UKCAT test fee, you can pay by purchasing
a Prepaid Visa, MasterCard or Voucher from one of the following organisations
below:
3V Vouchers
UK
Post Office
Virgin
You can also check with your local bank for Prepaid credit card options.
Bursaries
If you wish to apply for a bursary we have a simple form on which you must
declare that you meet the eligibility conditions. You must print this out and
send it to the UKCAT Administrator (The address is on the application form),
enclosing evidence of your entitlement and marking the outside of the envelope
"UKCAT: Bursaries". If you wish your evidence to be returned you must
include a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your application, otherwise
your documents will be destroyed.
To be eligible for a UKCAT bursary, candidates must either be in receipt of
Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) at the top rate of £30 or be personally
in receipt of income support. Evidence in the form of a letter from the UK Job
Centre Plus or the DfES-appointed awarding body for Education Maintenance Allowance
(EMA) or the equivalent government agency in another EU country will usually
suffice, but we reserve the right to ask for further supporting material. As
soon as we have received and reviewed the documentary evidence of entitlement,
we will send you a voucher number by email. This email constitutes your bursary
voucher.
So what do I do when I get the bursary voucher?
You can use your bursary voucher straightaway to register and pay for the UKCAT.
As a bursary applicant, you do not need to send us any payment for the voucher.
You simply have to enter your voucher number into the Pearson VUE booking system
when registering to take the UKCAT.
What if my bursary application is turned down once I have sent in my
documentary evidence?
If your application for a bursary is rejected (because you are not receiving
an eligible state benefit or you are unable to provide evidence of such), you
will have to pay for the UKCAT.
