• World class experience - Students are exposed to research at the cutting edge of the discipline studied
• Teaching and project supervision - Delivered by world leaders in biomedical research
• Opportunities to publish - Many students have obtained publications as a result of their BSc project and some have gone on to present their research at conferences

Eligibility

This is a one-year intercalated BSc. To be eligible to apply you must:

• Be registered on a recognised Medical, Dental or Veterinary course at a UK or Irish university or at one of our recognised International Partner institutions.
• Have completed at least one year of that course before you apply to Imperial. i.e. you must be at least in Year 2 in 2025/26.
• Have at least one year of your degree left when you return to your home institution after completing your intercalated BSc.

Selection process

Selection is based on three supporting documents of equal weighting:

• Academic transcript covering your marks (from university) up to and including the 2024-25 academic year. There is no official cut-off for academic performance but students who are accepted onto our courses are generally on track to achieve a 2.1 or higher.
• One academic reference from a member of staff at your university. You will be asked to provide the contact details of your referee in your application form. Imperial will then email your referee to request a reference. It is your responsibility to make sure your referee submits your reference by the application deadline.
• A personal statement explaining why you have chosen to apply for a particular BSc, why you think you should be selected for it, how the BSc relates to your interests in medical science and future career goals.

Deadline

The application deadline for 2026-27 entry is Friday 27 February 2026. 

You are asked to apply for your preferred BSc course, but you can also indicate up to three other intercalated BSc options.  If you do not get a place for your preferred course, you will be considered for your other options. 

Application Process

The application process for 2026-27 entry is now open. You can apply online now.

Selection is based on your application form and the supporting documents you will upload with your application. Please find further information about the application process in the Imperial Intercalated BSc Guide for 2026-27 Entry (PDF).
