St Andrews Medicine (A100)
How does it work for the St Andrews A100 Medicine course if you transfer to another university for years 4 to 6? Do you become a full-fledged student at the new university, with access to societies and the same opportunities as those who started in Year 1? Are you awarded a degree by both St Andrews and the new university, or just one? What are the potential downsides?
Also, how does the transition process work between the two universities? Do you need to reapply or go through any selection process for years 4 to 6? Is there any additional support or orientation for students transferring in? How does the teaching style or clinical placements differ in the later years compared to St Andrews?
I’m particularly interested in how this works at Glasgow and Edinburgh, as their websites don’t seem to explain it clearly. Can anyone help me?

1st option: You are transferred without the need to reapply, and you are awarded a BSc by St Andrews and a medicine degree by the 2nd university. You become a full-fledged student with access to all facilities as a medical student enrolled there since year 1. Downsides: You have limited clinical experience until you transfer, and you might not get the university you want (since you can choose).
Second question: No, and orientation depends on the university.
St Andrews has a small tutor teaching style (similar to Oxbridge 0 so I have heard), while other universities teach in a more distant (less contact with a tutor or assistant) and large-group-based group.
