is the nottingham course taught via traditional methods? or is there a mix with PBL or another form of teaching??
This is what it says in the FAQ on their website:
Is the A100 a problem based learning course? No, for the pre-clinical years (years 1 – 2.5) the teaching components are systems-based. The core components are taught through lectures, full-body dissection classes, and seminar group teaching. Alongside the above, students receive early clinical experience from the first year, with visits to hospitals and GP practices
I think most people would refer to this as "integrated" rather than either traditional or PBL, but I don't think the label put on it is really that important.

the so-called seminar group teaching can be reffered to as PBL for 1 module. It actaully is PBL but since its only like 3-4 sessions (including one for presentation) its not really a big deal. However, we do have SEPARATE seminars too for other modules
you should have a working knowledge of NHS, how it works etc. I wouldnt go into too many details though. Oh, and be sure you know what happens to you when you graduate from med school. Like, the whole process until you are finally a senior doctor
When you say working knowledge of the NHS what do you mean.
You can see a selection of offer dates on last year's stalking page..... but perhaps more relevant is what it says in the emails Nottingham sent to people post interview. Extract as follows:
"Thank you for coming to your interview for Medicine at the University of Nottingham on Tuesday 6th January. A few offers may be made in early March with the remainder being made in the first week of April"
This arrived about three weeks after the interview date.
