University of Nottingham

A*AA (A-level); reduced to AAA with A-level Mathematics; IB 36 points (766 at Higher Level) or 34 points including Higher Level Mathematics

Nottingham's own United States country page publishes a university-wide American-qualifications route: 3 AP exams ranging from 4,4,4 to 5,5,5, or 3 Honors/college-level classes in the same B+,B+,B+ to A+,A,A range, with no SAT or ACT figure required or published. That page notes subject preferences can apply and that some courses ask for more than this minimum, but Economics has no course-specific American figure of its own beyond the university-wide route.

No direct requirement published

Nottingham's own USA country-information page states explicitly: 'We do not generally require any standardised tests, but medical applicants are required to take the [UCAT].' A clean, explicit rule-out, not an unaddressed gap -- consistent with the existing Nottingham entries for other subjects. International applicants can apply to the standard 5-year Medicine BMBS course (Nottingham's Graduate Entry and Foundation Medicine routes are Home-fee-status only, per the course's own page). International tuition confirmed directly on the course's own page: £47,000/year.

Nottingham's own MPharm course page confirms the A-level/IB standard above and international tuition of £33,500/year, but names no SAT, ACT, or AP figure anywhere for US applicants -- unlike Imperial's course pages, which explicitly state SAT/ACT aren't accepted, this page simply doesn't address US qualifications at all.

Veterinary Medicine trains vets, not physicians, so no ECFMG sponsor-note lookup applies here. No direct SAT/ACT figure published -- same real no-SAT/ACT-path treatment as the existing Nottingham entries. Page confirmed current for 2027 entry.
