Course overview
Doctors play a vital role in the lives of so many, from the most joyful, to the toughest moments. At Lincoln Medical School, we'll help you gain the clinical skills, knowledge and confidence required for a career in medicine.
Developed in partnership with the University of Nottingham and the University of Lincoln, the Lincoln Medical School (LMS) course allows you to graduate with a University of Nottingham BMBS.
The early years
Youll develop an understanding of the scientific and professional basics of medicine. You'll be taught subjects based on clinically relevant topics and patient examples. Areas of study will include, but are not limited to: respiratory, cardiovascular, cancer, musculoskeletal systems, gastrointestinal medicine, renal, endocrine, reproduction, and Central Nervous System. From year one, topics studied in lectures, seminars, clinical skills, and anatomy suites are supplemented by patient interactions in hospitals or primary care settings. This part culminates in a research project and will see you graduate with a BMedSci degree after year three.
You'll be taught by experienced clinicians and tutors, research a topic from a broad selection of specialisms and learn in our purpose-built facilities at the Lincoln Medical School. You'll be based in the second largest county in England, enabling you to experience varied patient care across multiple settings across Lincolnshire NHS trusts.
The later years
The later years of the course are more clinically focused, where youll undertake a series of immersive placements at hospitals and GP surgeries. Youll cover a range of specialties and experience medicine in different care settings, giving you a broad understanding and experience of how differently the NHS functions and cares for patients. At the end of the course, you will graduate with a BMBS, enabling you to work as a doctor on the UK Foundation Programme after you graduate.
Our in-depth but highly rewarding course provides you with an excellent start on your journey to becoming a doctor.

Important information
This online prospectus has been drafted in advance of the academic year to which it applies. Every effort has been made to ensure that the information is accurate at the time of publishing, but changes (for example to course content) are likely to occur given the interval between publishing and commencement of the course. It is therefore very important to check this website for any updates before you apply for the course where there has been an interval between you reading this website and applying.
Careers overview
When you graduate with your BMBS degree,  you should usually be able to provisionally register with the General Medical Council (GMC) for a license to practice medicine in the UK. We'll help you through this process and provide support as you transition to the UK Foundation Programme.
To fully register with the GMC and be able to practice medicine unsupervised in the NHS or as part of a private practice, you will need to complete the Medical Licensing Assessment and complete the UK Foundation Programme.
You can find out more on the UK Foundation Programme and the GMC on their websites.
