Nottingham-based courses:
Medicine with a Foundation Year BMBS (A108)
Medicine BMedSci and BMBS (A100)
We are planning significant changes to our BMBS Medical degree programme from 2026 onwards, so it is important you understand these changes before applying to this course.
Frequently asked questions for applicants
The Foundation year course that is advertised will be the course that you undertake.
However, we are planning a significant curriculum redesign in 2026 to the A100 course so the course you will progress onto may look very different to the course that is currently advertised. It may not contain the BMedSci degree component.
Frequently asked questions for applicants
No, as long as you don't have a break in learning (long enough for you to have to resit or repeat a year), there are no planned changes to the course that has been advertised.
Students can have breaks in learning for a variety of reasons. For example, someone may need to take a break from their studies due to ill health or a positive life event such as pregnancy, or there may be a break in learning due to failure to pass an assessment at the required time.
Depending on the circumstances and reasons for the break in learning, a break in learning will require a student to repeat or resit their studies at a determined future point.
If you take a break in learning, then upon your return you will join the 2026 entry cohort and may have to repeat parts of a year you have previously successfully completed.
The course you will be joining may look very different to the one that is currently advertised as we are planning a significant curriculum change to the A100 course in 2026. This course may not contain the BMedSci degree component.
As we are planning a curriculum redesign in 2026, we encourage you to think carefully about deferring your place.
If a deferral is accepted, the course you will be joining may look very different to the one that is currently advertised. This course may not contain the BMedSci degree component.
