(Or AAB contextual offer for applicants who meet the contextual criteria). We do not use predicted A level grades and do not score A levels, AS levels, or equivalent as part of our selection process. However, any offers made will be conditional on meeting the A level requirements. AAA: must include biology (or human biology) and chemistry. A pass is normally required in science practical tests, where these are assessed separately. 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. Please note we do not usually accept A levels which have taken three years to complete. 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

GCSE/National 4/National 5

If you are applying with A levels or the IB, you must meet the following GCSE requirements unless otherwise stated. We require a minimum of 6 GCSEs at Level 7 (A). These 6 GCSEs at Level 7 must include chemistry and biology – or double science if you have not taken the individual science subjects – and may include maths and English language. If maths and English language are not included in your 6 GCSEs at Level 7, you will need a minimum grade of Level 6 in both subjects. When selecting for interview, GCSE grades are scored and allocated points. We score a maximum of 8 GCSEs including the required subject grades. If you are applying with a degree, you must have achieved at least a level 4 (C) in maths and English language. We do not accept GCSE resits. Where applicants chose to sit their GCSEs examinations for the first time in the Autumn 2020 examination series, we will not consider this as a re-sit. We do not accept applied science, short course GCSEs or functional skills for English and maths. GCSEs taken over multiple years may be accepted for home schooled students as long as they meet the entry requirements.

Start your journey to become a doctor and gain the skills you need for a successful career in medicine.

Developed in partnership with the University of Lincoln, the Lincoln Medical School course allows you to graduate with two degrees from the University of Nottingham, a BMedSci and a BMBS. 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.

At the Lincoln Medical School, you'll gain the clinical knowledge and skills, confidence and problem-solving skills you need for a career in medicine.

**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**

A case-based learning course which makes use of real patient scenarios and focuses you on their 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.

Modules

During this course, you'll spend your early years (years one to three) developing an understanding of the scientific and professional basics of medicine. You'll be taught subjects based on clinically relevant topics and patient examples. Areas of study will include, but are not limited to: respiratory, cardiovascular, cancer, musculoskeletal systems, gastrointestinal medicine, renal, endocrine, reproduction, and Central Nervous System. From year one, topics studied in lectures, seminars, clinical skills, and anatomy suites are supplemented by patient interactions in hospitals or primary care settings. This part culminates in a research project and will see you graduate with a BMedSci degree after year three.

Following your project, you'll move into the final years and begin the clinical phase. Your final two years is where you’ll undertake a series of immersive placements at hospitals and GP surgeries. You’ll cover a range of specialities and experience medicine in different care settings, giving you a broad understanding and experience of how differently the NHS functions and cares for patients. This part will see you graduate with a BMBS, enabling you to work as a doctor on the UK Foundation Programme after you graduate.
