Intercalated Degrees at Glasgow

[!PsyChirurgus!]

I was wondering if Glasgow only offers the BSc (Med Sci) Clinical Medicine exclusive to Glasgow medical students? Can medical students from other medical schools apply for it as well?

Also, I couldn't seem to find a list of other intercalated degrees on offer at Glasgow apart from the Clinical Medicine one. Could someone tell me which other courses they do?

I'm really interested in the 'Cancer Studies' but I'm not sure if that's only part of the whole BSc (Med Sci) Clin Med programme or a separate intercalated degree. Can anyone clarify please? Many thanks in advance.

hey I’m at Glasgow uni, not actually studying medicine but we have some MedSci people on our course so I’ll help as best i can!

"I was wondering if Glasgow only offers the BSc (Med Sci) Clinical Medicine exclusive to Glasgow medical students? Can medical students from other medical schools apply for it as well?"
I am almost certain its only for current Glasgow medics, I’ve certainly never heard of anyone coming from another med school to do it as its like doing a year of the actual Glasgow course, you cant just do in random years in different medical schools.

Well you can either do clinical medicine: Cancer Studies, Cardiovascular Studies, Clinical Neuroscience, Clinical Pathology, Developmental Medicine, Immunity in Health and Disease, Psychological Medicine, Public Health or Sports and Exercise Medicine. These courses are awarded by the medical faculty.

Or a 1 year course in: Anatomical Sciences, Biochemistry, Genetics, Microbiology, Molecular & Cellular Biology, Parasitology, Pharmacology or Physiology – these courses are awarded by the biomedical sciences faculty.

If you have two years spare you can do a full BSci (Hons) degree in one of the IBLS degrees – available on the website.

“I'm really interested in the 'Cancer Studies' but I'm not sure if that's only part of the whole BSc (Med Sci) Clin Med programme or a separate intercalated degree. Can anyone clarify please?”

Cancer studies is just one of the 1 year MedSci options.

Hope that helps a bit.

Full info on all the Clin Med and FBLS intercals can be found hereL:

University of Glasgow :: Faculty of Medicine :: One year intercalated degree courses

The 1 year clin med is a BSc(MedSci) honours.
the 1 year BSc is not an honours degree, though can do it over 2 years.

Non-GLsagow applicants are accepted for ClinMed but i think it's rare that someone does this.

The cancer studies module is the specialist component of the Clinical Medicine degree, and would be the basis for most of your lectures and certainly your project.

If you want to apply, the deadline is 23rd April!
