Structure, funding and accommodation

Information about fees, funding, and the structure of our programmes for students at other UK medical schools who are considering an application to ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº for the intercalated iBSc year.

Programme structure

The degree is made up of modules with a value of 15, 30 or 45 credits. Each module has assessments, which usually include an examination and coursework. A 30-credit module normally equates to 300 study hours, which includes around 40 hours of lectures, plus reading, coursework prep and revision. All iBSc degree programmes consist of four modules and contain a research project worth up to 45 credits.

Programmes have core modules that you must take. Often, you can also choose between optional modules. Your programme tutor will provide details of these. Both your tutor and the providing department must approve your choices, as there may be constraints imposed by prerequisite requirements or timetable. All modules and the research project contribute towards the degree and must be completed.

You can still apply for funding from Student Finance England (or your regional funding authority) during your intercalated year. When applying you must indicate that you will be studying at ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº and select: Intercalated Degree - Subjects allied to medicine.

If you have already received four years of means-tested funding from Student Finance England for your MBBS programme, you may be eligible for NHS bursary support for your intercalated degree.

¹û¶³Ó°Ôº also offers a range of additional financial support. If you have any questions about your funding entitlement, contact us via studentfundingwelfare@ucl.ac.uk.

If you're a UK student with a disability, you may be eligible for the Disabled Students' Allowance. This covers additional study-related costs that arise because of your disability. The allowance is not means-tested. See Funding Support for more details.
