Course Overview

The iBSc (Biomedical Science) is an optional extra year of study in which you can take a break from medical learning and broaden your horizons, drawing on the expertise of academics in the University of Leicester's College of Life Sciences. You will have the opportunity to research a biomedicine-related subject which is important to you, and to produce work which may lead to poster presentations at conferences or even publication in medical journals.

An intercalated BSc is an unparalleled opportunity for you to study something in depth without the daily pressures of the medical curriculum. You can take a step back after the first two or three years of your Medical Degree, reflect on how far you have come, and look to your future career. With an intercalated BSc you will have an additional qualification, and additional knowledge and experiences that will be to your advantage when you are applying for jobs or further training.

Entry Requirement 

Academic Requirements:

To apply for the iBSc you must already be studying for a Medical Degree at Leicester or another UK university and must have passed all your exams before commencement.

English Language Requirements:

IELTS 6.5 or equivalent. If your first language is not English, you may need to provide evidence of your English language ability. If you do not yet meet our requirements, our English Language Teaching Unit (ELTU) offers a range of courses to help you to improve your English to the necessary standard.

Fees

UK/EU Student Fee:

In financial terms your intercalated year is no different from the other years of your degree so your fee will be the same as it would be if you were continuing on your Medical Degree without taking an iBSc.

International Student Fee:

In financial terms your intercalated year is no different from the other years of your degree so your fee will be the same as it would be if you were continuing on your Medical Degree without taking an iBSc.
