May 2026
I really liked that I had different experts helping with different parts of my application. My UCAT tutor was amazing at teaching strategy, while my doctor mentor focused on the wider application and strategic uni choices and interviews. It felt like having a whole team behind me.

I honestly don't think I would have got into Dentistry without this. My dentist mentor helped me understand exactly what admissions tutors were looking for, and the interview practice built my confidence week after week. The whole process felt much less stressful having experts guiding me.

April 2026
Applying for Veterinary Medicine felt overwhelming because there are so many extra parts compared with other courses. My vet mentor helped with my SAQs, personal statement and interview preparation. The feedback was incredibly detailed and I ended up receiving interviews everywhere I applied.

Widening participation

We keep as much as we can free

We don't think your postcode or your family's budget should decide who becomes a doctor, dentist or vet. So we put a huge amount of what we know online for free, with no account and no paywall, and we do as much as we can for students from backgrounds under-represented in the professions.

Plus a free library of in-depth guides

If cost is a barrier, tell us on a free call and we will do what we can to help. You can also call us on 0203 488 5468.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Who are TheUKCATPeople?

TheUKCATPeople is a UK medical, dental and veterinary admissions specialist that has helped students win places since 2012. We were founded by Dr Akash Gandhi, an NHS GP, and named after the UKCAT (now the UCAT), the admissions test we have coached from the very beginning.

The company is led by qualified clinicians, and every tutor scored in the top decile of the exam they teach and is trained in-house before their first session. We are rated 5.0 from 550+ reviews on Trustpilot.

What does TheUKCATPeople do?

We support the whole application to study medicine, dentistry and veterinary medicine: 1-1 UCAT tutoring, personal statement editing, university strategy, interview coaching and one-day UCAT courses. You can book any service on its own, or take an Ultimate Package that mentors you across the entire cycle.

Alongside the paid services we publish a large library of free guides, a free UCAT skills trainer and a free UCAT score calculator, all open to everyone.

Is TheUKCATPeople any good?

We hold a 5.0 rating from 550+ reviews on Trustpilot, the independent review platform, and have mentored over 2,700 students. We would rather you judged us on that verified record than on any claim we make about ourselves.

The honest answer is that we are a strong fit for students who want a specialist to diagnose exactly where they are losing marks and fix it week by week. If you only want questions to drill, a self-study bank may be enough, and we will tell you so on a free call.

How much does it cost?

1-1 UCAT tutoring starts at £775 for 10 hours, and personal statement editing and interview coaching are priced per package. Ultimate Packages bundle the whole application together and are usually better value than buying each service separately.

Every enquiry starts with a free discovery call, at no cost and no obligation, where we recommend the right level of support for your situation and budget.

Do you help international applicants?

Yes. All of our tutoring and coaching is delivered online and scheduled around your time zone, and we support applicants from the UAE, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, India, the US and many other countries. We also understand the extra layers international students face, from fee status to how individual universities treat international applications, and build that into your plan.

Do you only cover medicine, or dentistry and veterinary too?

All three. We run full pathways for medicine, dentistry and veterinary medicine, plus support for allied applications such as pharmacy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and dental hygiene and therapy. Our founding team includes an NHS GP and practising dentists, and specialist vets lead our veterinary coaching.

How do I get started?

Book a free discovery call. We will talk through your grades, your target universities and where you are in the process, then recommend an honest plan, whether that is a single service, an Ultimate Package or simply our free resources. There is no cost and no obligation.

Harry got my UCAT up to 2,590, working through the sections I kept dropping marks on week by week. Gemma then ran my interview practice so the MMI stations didn't catch me out, and Dr Akash mentored me the whole way through. I'm off to King's for Medicine.

The interview prep was the part that actually moved the needle. Proper mock MMIs, not just lists of questions, and feedback that was honest about what I was getting wrong. I ended up with four offers and firmed UCL.
Ultimate Package
Aisha
Dentistry, University of Birmingham
Dentistry offers4 offers
The Ultimate Package kept me organised from UCAT through to interviews. They knew what dental schools actually ask and tightened up my personal statement. Four offers in the end, and I'm going to Birmingham.
Ultimate Package
Charlotte
Veterinary Medicine, Royal Veterinary College
Vet offers4 offers
Vet applications come down to the written SAQs as much as the interview. Dr Rebecca went through my SAQs line by line, sharpened my answers and prepped me for the panels. I came away with four offers and chose the RVC.
