The CAT date will be 19 October 2023. ITS is an authorized TCS centre (#35351). Enrolment is now closed. WE ARE FULL FOR THIS EXAMINATION.

The CAT is a requirement for applicants to Classics and any joint degrees which include this subject at the University of Oxford.

It consists of three separate computer-based tests:

• the Latin Translation Test
• the Greek Translation Test
• and the Classics Language Aptitude Test (CLAT)

Each paper lasts 1 hour and is sat under fully invigilated exam conditions. Which papers you take depends on the course you are applying for, and whether you are studying Latin or Greek to A-level or equivalent.

The test is now run by Tata Consultancy Services and ITS Education Asia is an authorized centre (#35351) for this test. Exam dates are held each year in October. Candidates can enrol directly with ITS, where we are BOTH the enrolling and examining centre for this test.
