Current applicants

Before applying, you may need to register in August / early Sept 2025 for a test. Please check the registration and test dates as you must sit the test in the correct sitting for Cambridge applicants. 

Applicants for Law must register for the LNAT.

Applicants for Economics or Computer Science must register for the TMUA

Applicants Medicine must register for the UCAT

Applicants for Chemical Engineering & Biotechnology, Engineering or Natural Sciences must register for the ESAT.

If your course information says that there is an assessment that you only take if you are selected for interview, you do not need to register. We will organise this for you later on, if you are selected for interview.

Please see How to apply for the application timeline and details of the process. Further information about the application process is available on the University admissions website, and applicants from outside the UK are encouraged to also read the Christ's International Students section.

It is important to read the relevant course information carefully on both the Christ's subject page and the University Admissions website (updated in March each year) before applying. Things to be particularly careful to read about: 

> the Christ's subject requirements for your course 

> whether your course requires registration for a test.
