Surely they will let you intercalate externally if it is a course that is not done at Glasgow and you can show how it will benefit your career/rest of your degree?


Not currently, AFAIK. Any good ideas on how I can start challenging this?

A few years ago Peninsula only allowed people to intercalate at UoP or Exeter or London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

But they did allow people to "demonstrate that there is a specific course that is not available within the two Universities and that would appropriately enhance their learning, the School may permit a few such exceptional intercalations. If you wish to explore this option, please discuss with the Chairman of the Intercalated Degrees Committee."

So now you can pretty much Intercalate anywhere.

So I would suggest talking to the Lead of Intercalation at Glasgow, or look at the most current Info for intercalation.

But you get to move for clinical!


True, but surely the point about moving away for intercalation should be for opportunities not available at your home medical school. As others have mentioned, this may be Glasgow's reasoning and it would probably require proof on your part to show that isn't the case.

Glasgow's choice is somewhat limited especially in comparison to some of the more specialised degrees.

For me, it would also be the opportunity to study in another University in another part of the country. Apologies if that's not the 'right' one :wink:

Just say that you like the girls in the place you want to intercalate to a la Human Right's Act - Right to family.

Cheers for the chocolates you left in the cupboards. Is yummy. :biggrin:

I'm not making any judgments on the reasons to intercalate - just what the medical schools consider the right one. :wink:

Appendix 2 Further information point 2. Means med schools affiliated with any uni cannot field their own team a bucs, have to merge with the uni's team. I know many people who are not very happy at all with this. I am not impressed either.


That doesn't affect Peninsula or any medical school who has complete autonomy from their parent universities.

Our Sports teams are jointly set up under PCMD's Student Parliament and one of the parent universities.

So we can go on doing whatever we want.
