Our medicine course is one of the most popular in the country, offering innovative teaching and early interaction with patients. We ensure our doctors learn from experience, not exclusively from books and the internet.

We know that you are going to medical school to train to be a doctor and therefore we want to introduce you to patients and practical problems as early as possible.

It might also interest you to know that the number of opportunities for medical graduates in the region has increased dramatically over the last 30 years, and will continue to do so as health services continue to expand in Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield and Lincoln.

Thank you for considering The University of Nottingham. We hope this brochure will answer some of your queries about studying medicine at Nottingham. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We hope to welcome you on to campus soon, and wish you luck with the rest of your studies.

Tony Avery Dean of the School of Medicine

TOP 10UK university for medicine.*

A campus community Outside of lectures, the opportunities at Nottingham are numerous and varied. All our campuses have a strong community spirit and our Students’ Union is at the heart of student life. One of the most active in the UK, the Union offers over 300 societies to choose from, all run by students for students. For medical students there is MedSoc, which has over 50 sub-societies and sport clubs to join. They also host a variety of social and course led events throughout the year alongside offering welfare support to students and providing a peer mentoring scheme to guide you through your studies.

Exploring the world During the clinical phase two for the BMBS Medicine course, students undertake a special study module, which allows some students to spend this four-week period on a student-led exchange in a European country. Past destinations have included Croatia, Germany, Slovakia and Spain. Students on all of our medical courses also have the opportunity to spend their compulsory elective period (clinical phase three) abroad, which has included destinations such as Africa, Australia, the Caribbean and Switzerland.

We have a dedicated full-body dissection room within the Medical School.

“ From day one I’ve been able to get involved

with everything from sports and music to charity work and speciality training – MedSoc offers something for everyone and I’ve loved my time at Nottingham so far! ”Kim Stallard, third year BMBS Medicine and President of MedSoc

English language requirementsIELTS 7.5 (no less than 7.0 in any element). For more information and a list of the alternative English language requirements we accept, please see www.nottingham.ac.uk/go/alternativerequirements

Preparing to study in EnglishStudents who require extra support to meet the English language requirements for their academic course can attend a professional course at the Centre for English Language Education (CELE) to prepare for their future studies. Students who pass at the required level can progress directly to their academic programme without needing to retake IELTS. Please visit www.nottingham.ac.uk/cele for more information.

BMBS Medicine (A100) In the first two years, basic medical science is taught as a series of courses organised into four concurrent themes:

•modular/cellular aspects of medicine

•human structure and function

•healthcare in the community

•early clinical and professional development

In the third year, you will undertake a supervised research project of your choice, leading to the award of BMedSci. Following this, you will move into the clinical phases where you will rotate through a series of placements at major teaching trusts within the region and in the community.

BMBS Graduate Entry Medicine (A101) The four-year graduate entry medicine course aims to widen access to a broader range of applicants than school-leavers with A levels. It is intended to build on the intellectual skills acquired by students who have already undertaken a first degree. During the first 18 months, in a purpose-built medical school at the Royal Derby Hospital Centre, you will undertake a problem-based learning (PBL) course. You will work in small groups to explore clinical scenarios using case studies. Early clinical experience will be provided in clinical settings and personal and professional development is encouraged.

Following the initial 18 months, you will progress onto the clinical phases of the course, combining with students from A100 and participating in the same modules and placements across a variety of clinical sites in the East Midlands.

BMBS Medicine with Foundation Year (A108)The foundation year is for applicants who want to study medicine but do not meet the normal A level and GCSE requirements for entry onto the A100 course and haven’t studied at a higher education institution before. There are also certain widening participation criteria that you must meet. For more information visit www.nottingham.ac.uk/go/foundationmedicine

While on the foundation year of this course you will study all the important elements of biology and chemistry required for your studies in years one to five. In addition, you will cover key topics in health psychology and population health and have your learning set in clinical context where appropriate. You will also receive study skills tuition.

For students studying at Derby, you can join the NHS library and loan up to 20 books at a time. There are individual study desks and group study rooms available. Students also have access to a large dedicated computer suite in the Medical School.

Semesters, terms, holidays Although the teaching year is divided into two semesters for organisational purposes, this is fitted into the traditional pattern of three terms: one before Christmas, one between Christmas and Easter and one after Easter.

When moving into the clinical phases for the final two and a half years, all students will find that their term times change. You will start intensive training across a series of modules and, through a series of rotations, be based at major teaching hospitals in the region.

Key Information Sets Key Information Sets (KIS) are comparable sets of information about full or part-time undergraduate courses and are designed to meet the information needs of prospective students. All KIS data is published on the Unistats website: www.unistats.co.uk

How will I study?

Your study will take the form of lectures, seminars, visits to general practices and hospitals, and practical experience through full-body dissection. You will also be familiarised with patient contact and learn the principles of clinical history-taking and examination.

Assessments vary depending on the module but will include exams, coursework and Objective Structured Clinical Exams (OSCE).

For more details on assessments, percentages and pass marks, please visit www.nottingham.ac.uk/medicine/teaching

Tutors and mentors All first-year students are allocated a personal tutor who remains their tutor throughout the course. In your third, fourth and fifth year, a Clinical Sub-Dean will also be available to see you. When you arrive in year one, you will also be matched with a second-year student peer mentor who you can contact throughout the course.

Library and computing services At Nottingham, you will benefit from access to an extensive collection of printed and online library resources. In addition, you will have both on and off-campus access to a wide range of databases, ejournals and ebooks.

Medical students also gain from a specialist medical school library – the Greenfield Library at the Queen’s Medical Centre. Here you have access to group study rooms and silent study zones. As well as having dedicated computer areas, students can borrow iPads and laptops for use in the library.
