Casper Pilot

All applicants applying to the Medicine MBBS at Brunel University London are invited to complete Casper as part of a Pilot with NHS England, during the 2023/2024 admissions cycle.

Taking the Casper test does not confer any advantage over students who have not taken it.

In participating in the Casper Pilot, you are contributing to our efforts to further enhance fairness and objectivity of our selection process.
