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 a 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.

The University of Nottingham is consistently named as one of the most targeted universities by Britain’s leading graduate employers (Ranked in the top ten in The Graduate Market in 2013-2020, High Fliers Research).
I chose to study at a university which was near to home, so Lincoln was perfect. I also liked the idea of being a Nottingham medical student but studying at Lincoln. And yes, this means you get access to both university facilities! I’ve really appreciated the smaller cohort, which meant I got to know everyone a lot quicker and I’ve made some good friends. "
