Nottingham Medical School - EVERYTHING you need to know before applying

Ooooofff, it's another biggg video! I've been getting lots of questions about what it's like to study medicine at the Uni of Nottingham and so I put together this video which covers all aspects of the course from your very first term at university up until clinical placement! I cover the teaching methods, optional modules, placements and most importantly the BMedSci project that Nottingham is famous for (and something I didn't quite understand when I applied!).
I really hope this is helpful as it's something I wish I had've had before applying :)

Loved this so helpful and so well explained. I’m so excited about medical school but was really nice to have an insight in too. Loving your videos as always! 💗

I dont mean to be offtopic but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost my account password. I love any tricks you can give me.

[@saqib7173]

Thank you for your honest and balanced review. I find it fascinating how the medical school curriculum has changed from my time when I entered medical school 33 yrs ago! At that time all medical courses were essentially what you would now call ‘traditional’ - 2 years preclinical and 3 years clinical with an optional intercalated BSc after yr 2.

Thank you so incredibly much you are honestly the sweetest human being. You have no idea how helpful this video has been. I forgot that I was just watching a video, it truly felt like I was sitting down asking a friend for help. Again, Thank you ! I wish you have a good day!!

I love your videos they are SO helpful especially as we might not be able to go to any open days now!!! Thankyou so much !

Hey Lucy! This was very helpful, thanks a lot! Would it be possible for you to do a more in-depth video about the different modules offered in each year and how they are assessed? Thank you!

[@kurtrosentreter7218]

Lucy, fantastic video. I was particularly focused on the few negatives you talked about - the shorter program in general and the lower points system that helps in foundation placements. When you talk to friends at other medical schools in the UK, or based on your own research when you applied initially, are you able to comment on what other medical schools seem to address these areas better?

[@zu-gc3cb]

This was so helpful! Is there any difference between medicine at lincoln centre and at the other campus? I'm pretty sure it said on the website you have to apply separately and that you can apply to both.

[@ireoluwabomi]

I didn’t rly understand why you only have a 3 week holiday in year 3. Is it because you finish year 3 very late or do you start year 4 early? Also what month would this 3 week holiday take place ? - thanks

[@drlucyrebecca2736]

I Ogunwale it’s both really! Normally at uni the final exams for the year are end of May/early June and then the next year starts in September. For medicine at Nottingham, 3rd year ends at the end of June and then 4th year starts mid July. I will only have 2 weeks holiday in between. It’s because we fit a 3 month research project into third year as well as placement!

[@ireoluwabomi]

Lucy Brett Do all 3rd year students have to do this 3 month research project

[@drlucyrebecca2736]

Yes it’s embedded into the course. There are pros and cons of it which I explain at 9:17 in this video! Just be warned that the clinical years in all medical schools are different to other university courses, im not sure what the summer holidays are like at other med schools but they might not be that long either!

Lucy Brett ahh thanks 🙏🏾

Got an offer for Nottingham med a couple days ago, its difficult to decide which accomodation though, would you choose Lincoln hall or Cavendish?

Hey Lucy! I've gotten a 630 and a band 1. Will Nottingham consider me?

Do you know of any other unis that learn one system over a few weeks?
