What's next?

1. Academic conditions

We need to ensure you meet our academic conditions for your course. Please see the details below:

Undergraduate Medicine at the University of Nottingham

  • You must meet the grade requirements outlined on UCAS Hub by 31 August 2026.
  • If your offer is conditional on your degree qualification, evidence should be provided by 31 July 2026.

Graduate Entry Medicine

  • You must meet the degree and any other requirements outlined on UCAS Hub by 31 July 2026.
  • We need to receive your degree certificate (or a final ratified transcript of studies if you don't have your certificate) by 31 July 2026. The only exception is if you receive an offer after this date. We do not accept letters from course leaders or chairs of exam boards.

Please note: Students cannot be registered on two full-time degree programs simultaneously. If an applicant is currently studying for an undergraduate or postgraduate degree, it must be completed before the start of the University of Nottingham Medicine course.

2. Non-academic conditions

Health clearance

You'll be asked to complete a confidential online occupational health questionnaire. This will be sent out from June 2026; you should aim to complete this immediately to avoid delays with your application. Please complete with as much detail as possible. If you do not have all of the information required, it is suggested you submit it with the information that you have to avoid a delay in your clearance. You can visit your occupational health portal to update/amend at a later date or when you have more evidence/documentation to share.

The university may need to carry out a full assessment of your support needs to ensure that it can fully meet its legal obligations to you. Very occasionally, the university may determine that it is not able to provide the support required, in which case the offer will be withdrawn. 

If you disclose a disability, the university Disability Support Services may contact you to discuss possible reasonable adjustments to support you with your studies.

As part of the health clearance, we need to make sure you're fit to study.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you complete the occupational health process to be cleared as fit to study. Failure to complete this means you have not complied with the requirements of your course and will not be able to start with the rest of your year group.

 

DBS check / Police clearance

All UK medical schools are required to ensure that all medical students undergo police clearance.

You must advise us of any criminal convictions you may have.

You will need to have a new Enhanced DBS check (child and adult). We will contact you with more information on the steps to take before you start your course. Please only apply for your DBS through the process we provide and only after your offer status is Unconditional Firm. We want to ensure you do not incur any unnecessary costs.

Non-UK residents need to obtain a police check from their home country, and this must be received by the end of August. Details of how to apply will be sent out. If you're applying for Graduate Entry Medicine, you will need your police clearance by the start of August 2026. The only exception to this is if you receive an offer after this date.

If you fail to provide us with any required materials or information within the stipulated timeframes, then the conditions of your offer will not have been met and your offer is likely to be withdrawn.

Fitness to train

All UK medical schools have a duty to ensure that no member of the public is harmed as a consequence of participating in the training of medical students.

If your conduct falls below the high standards of behaviour expected, your offer may be withdrawn.

 

Follow regulations and policies

Medical students will be expected to comply with regulations and policies required by their local campus. This includes the University of Nottingham, and the School of Medicine.

We'll provide more detailed information about these regulations and policies, which will be made available to you when you start your course.

Confirm your fee status

Your fee status needs to be confirmed before registration, and any changes to fee status may impact your offer. If you have questions about the fee status stated in your offer email, please email feestatus@nottingham.ac.uk. You will have 30 days from receipt of your offer to appeal our assessment. Any changes to our initial fee status assessment may impact your offer.
