📚 Which Undergraduate Courses Require UAT-UK Admissions Tests? How to Check the Official Course Lists | 哪些本科课程要求 UAT-UK 笔试：官方课程名单的查法
Every year, thousands of strong applicants lose offers not because of their grades, but because they missed a single line on a course page: "Applicants must sit the ESAT" or "TMUA required". UAT-UK tests (ESAT and TMUA, plus newer additions to the portfolio) are now used by Cambridge, Imperial and a growing list of other UK universities, and the requirements change from cycle to cycle. This guide explains exactly what UAT-UK is, how its course lists are structured, and the four-layer checking method that lets you confirm - in about fifteen minutes - whether your specific course, for your specific year of entry, requires one of these tests.
每年都有大量成绩优秀的申请者错失录取，原因不是分数，而是漏看了课程页面上的一行字："申请人必须参加 ESAT"或"需要 TMUA"。UAT-UK 系列笔试（ESAT、TMUA，以及陆续加入的新考试）目前被剑桥、帝国理工以及越来越多英国大学采用，而且要求逐轮变化。本文将说明 UAT-UK 究竟是什么、它的课程名单是如何组织的，并给出"四层核查法"，让你在大约十五分钟内确认：你申请的具体课程、具体入学年份，是否要求参加这类笔试。
1. What UAT-UK Actually Is | UAT-UK 到底是什么
UAT-UK (University Admissions Tests UK) is a testing service created as a partnership between Cambridge University Press & Assessment and Pearson VUE. It is a provider of computer-based admissions tests delivered at Pearson VUE test centres around the world - it is not a university, and it does not decide who gets an offer.
UAT-UK（University Admissions Tests UK）是由剑桥大学出版社与考评部（Cambridge University Press & Assessment）与 Pearson VUE 合作设立的考试服务机构。它负责在各地 Pearson VUE 考试中心提供机考形式的入学笔试——它本身不是大学，也不决定谁被录取。
The key consequence: the requirement always comes from the university department, not from UAT-UK. UAT-UK publishes which universities and courses use its tests, but the binding statement is the one written on the university's own course page for the correct year of entry.
由此产生一个关键结论：考试要求永远来自大学院系，而不是来自 UAT-UK。UAT-UK 会公布哪些大学和课程使用其考试，但真正具有约束力的表述，写在大学自己官网、对应入学年份的课程页面上。
If your course requires a UAT-UK test and you do not sit it, your application is normally treated as incomplete or is simply not considered further - a very expensive way to lose a place you could have won.
如果课程要求 UAT-UK 笔试而你未参加，申请通常会被视为材料不完整，或直接不再进入后续评审——这会让你白白失去本可争取到的名额。
2. The Tests in the UAT-UK Family | UAT-UK 的考试家族
You do not need to memorise the whole portfolio, but you do need to recognise which test belongs to which subject profile. ESAT and TMUA cover the overwhelming majority of UAT-UK requirements in science, engineering, mathematics and economics.
你不需要背下整个考试体系，但必须能判断哪类考试对应哪类专业方向。在理工、数学与经济学领域，ESAT 与 TMUA 覆盖了绝大多数 UAT-UK 要求。
| Test | Structure | Score | Typical course profile |
| ESAT | ice questions each: Mathematics 1 plus two from Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics 2 | 1.0-9.0 per paper | Engineering, natural sciences, physics, veterinary medicine |
| TMUA | 5 min, 20 multiple-choice questions each: mathematical knowledge, then reasoning and proof | 1.0-9.0 overall | Mathematics, computer science, economics, joint honours with maths |
Two things are easy to confuse. First, some UAT-UK tests are newer and are used by only a small number of courses, so an older guide may not mention them at all. Second, many admissions tests are not UAT-UK tests at all - UCAT for medicine, LNAT for law, and Oxford's own tests such as the MAT and PAT sit outside this system.
有两点极易混淆。第一，UAT-UK 体系中有较新的考试，目前只有少数课程采用，旧攻略可能完全没有提及。第二，很多入学笔试并不属于 UAT-UK——医学的 UCAT、法律的 LNAT，以及牛津自设的 MAT、PAT 等，都不在这个体系内。
3. Why There Is No Single Official "Course List" | 为什么不存在唯一一份官方课程名单
Applicants often ask for "the official list of courses". In reality, the requirement is a federation of documents: UAT-UK's own directory, each university's central admissions-test page, and each individual course page. These are updated at different times, usually in spring or early summer before the October sitting.
申请者常问"官方课程名单在哪"。实际上，这一要求由一组文件共同构成：UAT-UK 自己的目录、各大学招生笔试总览页，以及每一门课程的页面。它们的更新时点不同，通常在前一年春季
