The UCAT is a requirement of the admission process for Medicine.
The score you receive is only valid in the year that you apply, that means for that application cycle only.
Domestic applicants must have a UCAT result obtained in the year of application and have achieved a score in all five of the UCAT domains at a threshold level determined annually by the Medical Admissions Committee. The thresholds are set each year — refer to the Medicine: Entry Requirements page for the current thresholds.
UCAT is not required for any international students.
