Vaccinations
Home students
You will be eligible for a number of different vaccinations, providing you have not had these vaccinations before and you are aged under 25. This includes vaccinations for meningitis ACWY, MMR and HPV, which are highly recommended for new students.
International students
All students entering the UK from overseas should register with a doctor in the UK. Although it’s not mandatory, registering will ensure that everyone entering the country has access to medical care and health checks should they need them.
You will be offered vaccinations when you come to study at the University of Nottingham and register at the UNHS. The vaccinations offered are ones that are recommended for students starting at the university. To find out more about the recommended vaccinations, and to view this information in another language, read our vaccination information leaflet (pdf).
If you are coming to the UK for more than six months from certain countries, you will need a medical certificate to prove you don’t currently have infectious tuberculosis (TB) before your visa application can be considered. For more information, visit the GOV.UK website.
