What do I need to do if I'm an internal student and intend to intercalate during 2025/2026?

If you are an internal student and intending to intercalate in the academic year 2025/26 you are required to register your intentions by completing the form below by no later than Sunday 31st March 2025. You will be unable to intercalate in the 2025-26 academic year if you have not notified the School by this date (this is due to the increase in the numbers of students wishing to intercalate and the need to ensure we can accommodate returning students on clinical placements).
Register your intention to intercalate during 2025-2026This form will be used for administrative purposes to ensure that we have a record of all students who are intercalating and to ensure the correct paperwork has been completed.
