Start your journey to become a doctor and gain the skills you need for a successful career in medicine.
Although you'll be based in one of the UK's newest medical schools, you'll be taught by experienced tutors with an excellent reputation for teaching and research.
**Two degrees in one**
You'll undertake a supervised research project in your third year, leading to the award of an integrated Bachelor of Medical Sciences (BMedSci) without needing to study for an extra year. You'll then continue into your final years, putting your learning into practice on placements at hospitals and GP surgeries to earn your BMBS.
**Two university experiences in one**
Enjoy the University of Lincoln student experience, while also graduating with globally recognised qualifications from the University of Nottingham.
**Case-based learning**
You'll learn using case-based learning, making use of real patient scenarios and focusing on key clinical points.
**Broad range of expertise**
You'll be able to explore a range of research areas as part of your studies, working alongside leaders in diabetes, medical imaging and antibiotic resistance.
Course Details - Modules
You'll begin Year One by developing an understanding of the scientific and professional basics of medicine. You will then study themes based on overarching clinical problems such as respiratory and cardiovascular medicine, the musculoskeletal system and cancer.
There is also the opportunity to reinforce your learning through hospital and general practice visits.
In the spring semester, students usually have the chance to study an optional module, looking into specific topics in a bit more depth.
Your second year continues your theme-based teaching, looking into a variety of other clinical problems. In each semester you'll usually be able to take an optional module to suit your personal interests.
Your third year begins with a supervised research project in an area of your choice and an accompanying Research Methods module to help with the project. You're also able to take two optional advanced medical science modules. This will lead to being awarded the BMedSci.
Following your project, you'll move into the final years and begin the Clinical Phase.
Your final two years form the majority of the Clinical Phase. This is a rotation of a series of six-week placements in major teaching hospitals and primary care. The experience you gain in these years will provide you with the professional knowledge, skills, values and behaviours to succeed.
In both years you'll have the option of student-selected modules, which can be carried out at home or abroad. These end with a six-week placement of your choice and a medical assistantship to prepare you for your foundation year training.

AAA: must include biology (or human biology) and chemistry.
A pass is normally required in science practical tests, where these are assessed separately. However, due to the pandemic and the uncertainty of practical tests taking place, this will not required for 2022 applicants.
We will not accept citizenship studies, critical thinking, general studies, or global perspectives as your third A.
You must study three A levels for two years and meet the entry requirements, however you can take an extra A level a year earlier or later if needed to meet the entry requirements or recommended by your school or college.

We will consider resits for no more than two A levels as long as:
you have completed your A levels in the last 12 months
you have already obtained at least ABB with at least one A in biology/human biology or chemistry
you must achieve AAA after taking your resits
At least 6 GCSE's (or equivalent) are required at grade 7 (A). For more details, see GCSE information.
Scottish Highers are accepted. The subjects must include English language, maths and the sciences. This qualification is acceptable when combined with Advanced Higher grades AA in biology and chemistry.

with 6, 6, 6 at Higher level including biology and chemistry, excluding core component.
Or Contextual offer (for students meeting the WP criteria) of 35 with 6, 6, 5 at Higher Level including 6 in either biology or chemistry, excluding core component.
If you are taking maths at either standard or higher level, we will accept either of the maths qualifications now available.

Degree offer
You are also able to apply for this course if you already have a degree.
You will need a 2:1 degree in any subject plus the A level requirements and a minimum of GCSE level 4 (C) in maths and English language
You may also consider applying for our Graduate Entry Medicine course as this is specifically aimed at graduates of other disciplines.
Candidates may apply for medicine during any year of their existing degree studies – you do not need to withdraw. You may continue with your studies while awaiting your new Medicine application outcome. Any exams taken while on the degree will not be taken into consideration. A-levels and GCSE’s must therefore meet the requirements as outlined in our standard requirements.
Where a candidate is reliant on their degree for academic entry purposes, they may apply for our course through UCAS at the beginning of their final year with their degree or integrated masters result pending. In these cases, offers to study Medicine will be conditional on candidates achieving the necessary academic requirements. The degree must be an honours degree and the award must be conferred to us by providing a final transcript no later than 20 July each year.
Degrees must have been completed in the natural length intended for your qualification - for example 3 years for a bachelors (like a BSc) or 4 years for an undergraduate masters (like an MSci).
If you are applying with an undergraduate (bachelors or undergraduate masters) degree, you may not need to meet the standard A level requirements. We will review this if you have achieved or are predicted to achieve a first class honours degree at undergraduate level in a relevant subject with enough biology and chemistry content. You will still, however, need to have achieved as least a 4 (C) in GCSE in both maths and English language. Any offers made without the A level requirements are conditional on you achieving a first in your primary degree before starting the course.
For more information on which degrees are relevant, please contact the Student Recruitment Support Hub.
Accelerated degrees resulting in the award of a BSc Hons (completed over two years rather than three) may be accepted in lieu of A levels where a 1st class has been achieved. We will review these applications on a case-by-case basis. GCSE maths and English language must still be achieved at a minimum of C grade. For information on whether your degree is accepted please contact the Student Recruitment Support Hub.
