Gain hands-on clinical experience
Complete a research project leading to a BMedSci award
Learn in brand new specialist facilities
Case-based learning which makes use of real patient scenarios
Tutor system and peer-mentoring scheme
Links with the NHS and healthcare providers
This course is split into two phases: the early years, where students can learn the skills and knowledge required to become a doctor and complete a research project leading to a BMedSci; and the later years, called the Clinical Phase, where students put their learning into practice on placements at hospitals and GP surgeries
Students begin the degree by studying the scientific and professional basics of medicine. They are then taught subjects on themes based on overarching clinical problems: specifically respiratory and cardiovascular medicine, the musculoskeletal system, and cancer. There is also the opportunity to reinforce their learning through hospital and general practice visits. In the spring term, students usually have the chance to study an optional module, looking into specific topics in more depth.
The second year continues theme-based teaching, looking into a variety of other clinical problems. In each term students will usually be able to take an optional module which interests them most.
The third year begins with a supervised research project in an area of each student's choice and an accompanying Research Methods module to help with the project. Students are also able to take two optional advanced medical science modules which may or may not be related to the project. Upon successful completion this will lead to the award of BMedSci.
Students will spend a compulsory week in primary care developing skills to assess patients in a general practice environment and participate in a therapeutics module, that aims to develop their prescribing skills before they move into the clinical phases of the programme.
Students then move into the final years and begin the Clinical Phase which will see them rotate through a series of placements at major teaching hospitals and within primary care facilities across the region.
The final two years form the majority of the Clinical Phase. Students rotate through a series of six-week placements at major teaching hospitals and within primary care across the region. These years aim to provide the professional knowledge, skills, values, and behaviours to succeed through direct experience.
During both years students will have the option of student selected modules which can be at home or abroad and will end with a six-week placement of their choice and a medical assistantship to prepare them for the UK Foundation Programme.
During your first three years student can expect approximately 16 to 18 hours of teaching contact time with around 20 hours of independent study. They will spend around five days on placement each term.
During the Clinical Phase students can expect to spend between 35 to 40 hours across five days every week studying and on placements. They spend around two to three days on ward, clinic or GP placement visits per week with one day of independent study and one to two days of teaching contact time. This will include some time on call and some out of hours work.

BMBS Medicine
Medicine at the Lincoln Medical School is fully accredited by the General Medical Council (GMC) as part of the University of Nottingham's medical courses programme.
Students can benefit from established links with the NHS and healthcare providers including Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust sites across Lincolnshire. Students have the opportunity to interact with patients from the first year, through regular visits to general practices and hospitals. Students will also have the opportunity to ask scientists and qualified doctors details of clinical outcomes, and hear more about their working environment.
Currently placements include the following hospitals:
The brand new purpose-built Ross Lucas Medical Sciences Building comprises lecture theatres, laboratories, a clinical skills suite with consultation rooms, a prosection anatomy suite, and a bio-medical and health sciences library. It is the most sustainable building on the University Estate and features both solar panels and a living wall.

Assessment methods may include case studies, clinical exams, coursework, a dissertation, examinations, formative assessments, logbooks, objective structured clinical exams, poster presentations, practical exams, presentations, short projects, verbal exams, and workplace-based assessments.
All applications for this course must be made through UCAS. Students will need to apply to the University of Nottingham and choose the Medicine BMBS (Lincoln pathway) as an option. All applications for 2024 entry must be made in UCAS by 16 October 2023.
GCE Advanced Levels: AAA (or AAB contextual offer).
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.
A Level Offer:
AAA, which must include biology (or human biology) and chemistry.
A pass is normally required in science practical tests, where these are assessed separately.
Citizenship studies, critical thinking, general studies, or global perspectives are not accepted as the third A.
Students must study three A levels for two years and meet the entry requirements, however they can take an extra A level a year earlier or later if needed to meet the entry requirements or recommended by their school or college. Please note that 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
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.
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 GCSEs 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 the University of Nottingham 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 Bachelor's (like a BSc) or 4 years for an undergraduate Master's (like an MSci).
If you are applying with an undergraduate (Bachelor's or undergraduate Master's) 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 us.
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 first 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 us.
Contextual Offers:
A levels: AAB with at least one A in either biology or chemistry
IB: 35 (6,6,5 at Higher Level including 6 in either biology or chemistry, excluding core component) with the GCSE requirements (or equivalent).
This type of offer is given to students who meet our contextual admissions or elite athlete criteria.
If you meet the requirements for a contextual applicant and you're successful at interview, your offer will then be lowered to the contextual offer of AAB or 35.
Find out more at https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/ugstudy/applying/contextual-offers.aspx.
GCSEs:
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 or Autumn 2021 examination series, we will not consider this as a resit.
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.
English Language Requirements:
If English is not your first language, you will need to have proof of your fluency with one of the following:
- IELTS 7.5 (no less than 7.0 in any element)
- Pearson Test of English (Academic) 79 (minimum 76)
- Cambridge Proficiency/Advanced test (from January 2015) 191 with no element below 185
If your home country is not the UK, but you have moved to the UK (with indefinite leave to remain) within two years before taking GCSE English Language or equivalent and did not achieve Level 6 then we will accept one of the alternative qualifications.
Work Experience:
Applicants are usually expected to complete regular work experience when applying for medicine. This can be:
- Volunteering in a care related setting
- Volunteering with disadvantaged groups
- Paid employment in a job working with the general public
As part of your application you will usually be required to provide evidence of your work experience. This may include a description of the experience, dates for when it took place, and a reference contact.
Please note, we are not expecting any NHS work experience to have taken place or be ongoing after March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Your application for 2023 entry will not be negatively affected if you've been unable to complete any NHS work experience you had planned. We will however be looking for knowledge of the profession and an understanding of the scope of the role and we may ask about this during your interview.
If possible we'd advise that you speak to someone working in the NHS to ensure you are making an informed choice about your career in medicine. Applicants are expected to demonstrate a commitment to caring for people and a realistic idea of what working as a doctor entails.
Any students considering a gap year should use their time constructively either by working or further preparing yourself for a future career in medicine.
