List of medical schools in the United Kingdom

This list of medical schools in the United Kingdom includes all thirty-two registered degree-issuing medical schools in the United Kingdom. There are twenty-four such schools in England, five in Scotland, two in Wales and one in Northern Ireland; all are linked to a British university, and all but Warwick Medical School offer undergraduate courses in medicine. The list is ordered by country and name.

The oldest medical school in the United Kingdom is the University of Aberdeen School of Medicine, which was established in 1495, although the University of Oxford has taught medicine since the 13th century and the University of Cambridge began teaching medicine in 1540. There were no formal medical schools in England, Wales or Northern Ireland until the 19th century, when schools in Belfast, Sheffield, Birmingham, Leeds, Newcastle, Liverpool, London and Cambridge were established between 1821 and 1842. Schools in Dundee, Fife and Manchester were built towards the end of the 19th century.

The next expansion of medical schools began following the recommendations of the Royal Commission on Medical Education (1965-1968), which called for new schools in Southampton, Leicester and Nottingham to aid medical education in the United Kingdom;  all were built between 1970 and 1980. Several more medical schools were built towards the end of the 20th century and the start of the 21st, including those in Warwick, Swansea and Durham.
