The Thinking Skills Assessment (also known as TSA) is a generic admissions test, which is used as part of the admissions process for entry to some undergraduate courses at the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford and University College London. It is also used by Leiden University in the Netherlands, for entry to undergraduate Psychology. ==History== TSA was developed and is run by the Admissions Testing Service. It was developed to help universities assess whether applicants have the skills and aptitudes considered essential for Higher Education study. The test was first introduced for undergraduate entry to the University of Cambridge in 2001, and is used as part of the admissions process for a number of courses: Computer Science, Economics, Engineering, Human, Social and Political Sciences, Land Economy, and Natural Sciences. Not all Cambridge Colleges require TSA to be taken; the admissions pages of the University of Cambridge website give up-to-date information about which courses and colleges require TSA.〔() http://www.study.cam.ac.uk/undergraduate/apply/tests/tsa.html University of Cambridge Undergraduate Admissions.
