Oxford Admissions Tests 2027 UAE: which test does your course need?
For families looking for Oxford admissions tests 2027 UAE guidance, the first step is to match the exact Oxford course to its required test. Oxford uses UAT-UK tests for specified courses, and the assessment varies by course. Check the applicant’s course on Oxford’s official list before arranging tutoring.
TARA
Economics and Management; PPE; Experimental Psychology; Human Sciences; History and Economics; History and Politics; and Psychology, Philosophy and Linguistics.
ESAT
Biomedical Sciences; Engineering Science; Physics; and Physics and Philosophy.
TMUA
Computer Science; Computer Science and Philosophy; Mathematics; Mathematics and Statistics; Mathematics and Computer Science; and Mathematics and Philosophy.

Test booking and UCAS are separate
Oxford says UAT-UK registration is separate from UCAS. A submitted or nearly complete UCAS application does not confirm that an admissions test was booked. Check each step independently: course requirement, test booking confirmation, test-centre details, candidate instructions and UCAS submission.
What applicants should do now
Confirm the course and test using Oxford’s admissions-test list and course page.
If booked, find the confirmation and check the test-centre location, timings and candidate instructions.
If booking was missed or details are unclear, contact UAT-UK/Pearson directly and ask what options, if any, are available.
Build a short, focused preparation plan around the right test format, then protect time for rest and exam-day logistics.
Keep the UCAS application, reference and any course-specific requirements moving toward 15 October.
