Intercalation

We encourage and support students on the Medicine programme to intercalate and pursue areas of specialised knowledge outside the core curriculum.

Introduction

Explore your interests

Intercalation is an opportunity to enrich your undergraduate Medicine degree by taking a year out of your programme during which you study a different undergraduate or postgraduate degree.

Here at Hull York Medical School, you can intercalate after your second year (to study an undergraduate programme) or after your third year (to study a specially designed intercalated BSc, a Masters or PhD).

Whilst intercalation is not a requisite on our Medicine programme, we encourage all our students to consider this option to broaden your skills and knowledge and explore a new subject area.

Whether you study a Bachelors or a Masters, intercalation is an opportunity to broaden your horizons, study a subject you are passionate about or help you to decide where your passion lies.

HULL YORK MEDICAL SCHOOL Stories

Gaining a MSc in Clinical Anatomy and Education was an unrivalled opportunity in my intercalation year. Not only will it help me to achieve my aspirations of becoming involved in medical education in the future alongside pursuing my passion for anatomy, but it will also be of value when applying for jobs and specialist training once I finish my Medicine degree.
