here are the options:

IMPERIAL COLLEGE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

endocrinology

haematology

management and basic medical sciences

neuroscience

imaging

ummunobiology

physiology

[m00ple]

The options are greater than that. Current BScs on offer are:

Cardiovascular Sciences
Endocrinology
Gastroenterology and Hepatology
Haematology
Imaging
Immunobiology and Pathology
Management
Molecular Basis of Disease
Neuroscience
Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Paediatrics
Pharmacology and Toxicology
Physiology
Psychology and Psychiatry
Respiratory Science
Social Medicine
Surgery and Anaesthesia

I wouldn't say there was any "best" BSc really. It just depends on what you happen to be interested in. The facilities and excellent teaching staff are there for all of them.

ICSM will, like most medical schools, invevitably specialise in certain medical specialities, for example, i believe that they specialise in repiratory medicine to some extent (i think especially where the Royal Brompton hospital is concerned, correct me if i'm wrong). In my opinion, some of these options are better than others, and i have heard that some are more over-subscribed than others too. Degrees such as imaging are surely going to be less 'prestigious' than a degree in physiology. Some of these subjects couldn't be studied on their own (at undergraduate level at least!) Have you ever seen a degree in Imaging on offer at a university?

It is important to remember that you are awarded the intercalated degree with the title of medical Sciences with..... and then your chosen subject, so this is likely to make the degrees more uniform.

Does anyone know if we get graded so to speak on our intercalated degrees: i.e. 1st class, 2:1 etc??????

Also, so we get a 'grade' on our medical degree? i.e. 1st class etc??

so if im not wrong,

u r saying that respiratory medicine is one of the best subjects to take at imperial ?

Resp isn't one of the most oversubscribed ones. Thing is, Imperial has loads of areas where they specialise in. To say that just because the Royal Brompton is one of the hospitals that Imperial have research facilities therefore Resp as a BSc is better than the rest is a total falsehood. Imperial houses lots of centres of excellence in different areas. For example, Imperial also has a top business school, but nobody would say that a management BSc was better than any of the more clinical or scientific BScs

Study what you are interested in. The best thing about Imperial is the range of subjects that you can take a BSc in.

any1 ever not done the intercaleted year (even though its compulsary), or decided they wanted to do a course that wasnt on the list- or even gone so far as to have done it at another uni (say, UCL)?

[m00ple]

People have done courses at other unis before, but the only way of getting out of doing the BSc year is if you already have a BSc (or equivalent) in a biomedical subject.

i'm interested to find out about the BSc in Obs & Gynae.... I can't find info on the Imperial website though. Anyone done it? usually BScs aren't medical specialties as the Imperial ones seem to be........how do they work?
