The intercalated degree is a one-year BSc course which gives you the opportunity to study the subjects of your choice in greater depth across King’s and the university’s clinical partners. As a multi-faculty institution, we offer an unrivalled range of intercalated degrees from clinical and biomedical sciences to humanities subjects. The
Intercalated BSc is mandatory however students can ‘opt out’; the intercalated BSc is taken between Stages 2 and 3 of the course.
The EMDP is the UK’s flagship broadening- access-to-medicine degree. It is specifically designed for students from non-selective state schools and lasts six or seven (with the BSc) years, allowing you to study the first stage at a slower pace. You will, however, follow the same medical curriculum as all other medical students and undergo the same rigorous assessments.
We teach Stage 1 of the curriculum over two years, allowing you additional time for self- directed study, as well as a range of extra academic tuition and pastoral support. In your third year and onwards, you will sit exactly the same exams as the other medical students and you must achieve the same pass mark. At the end of the course you will graduate with the same MBBS qualification.
