Intercalation

Can you apply to as many intercalation courses as you want? And how does the application process normally work? What do they look at when they decide whether to give you a place?
Depends on the med school! At Birmingham you can apply for as many as you want internally. Most medical schools require you to obtain permission to intercalate externally. Some don’t let you intercalate externally at all! Intercalating externally is normally competitive - you will have to study something your home med school doesn’t offer and be in the top half of your year!
Hi. I was just recently researching different UK medical schools and wanted to have a rough idea of which UK medical schools make it compulsory to intercalate. If anyone has any idea of some UK medical schools that make it compulsory, it would be great! Otherwise, no worries. Thanks

There's a feature on the medic portal that allows you to compare 4 schools at a time where it tells you if intercalation is compulsory if that helps
