You do not need to complete your bachelor's degree before taking the BMAT, but the BMAT has been discontinued after 2023 and is no longer required for UK medical admissions.

For the APS (Academic Evaluation Centre) certificate required for Germany, you must complete your bachelor's degree before applying. The APS verifies your academic records, so your degree must be finished first.

In summary: BMAT is no longer needed, but completing your bachelor's is mandatory before applying for APS.
