What is the ESAT?

The ESAT is the Engineering and Science Admissions Test required by Cambridge for applicants to four courses; Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, Engineering, Natural Sciences, and Veterinary Medicine.

This exam has replaced the NSAA and ENGAA, but has a similar specification to these previous exams. You can view our comprehensive guide to the basics of ESAT which will help you to better understand what the ESAT is.

How are you able to offer tutoring and resources for the ESAT with it being a new exam?

Through our decade of experience in the Oxbridge application space, UniAdmissions has dealt with many exam and test specification changes. We have a deep understanding of the questions and topics for every admissions test offered by Oxford or Cambridge. We are able to use this understanding, alongside any information released by the universities themselves, to quickly develop accurate resources and train our tutors accordingly.
