Unpopular opinion: intercalated bachelors degrees in medical school should get a new classification. They are <12 months of study (often September-may/June) and gain a full BSc for their students. I am a medical student, and 3-year BSc graduate. It cheapens the BSc.

Either iBSc as standard or some certification. This should be recognised as less than a three year bachelors degree for application programme points.

An argument for it being the full BSc is "oh but we did four years of study beforehand so I& #39;ve loads of credits!". Those credits are for an MBBS, you can& #39;t recycle them to accelerate a second side degree and have that as fair to the grad medics who have a FULL degree.

When I did my UG, we had 20 medics intercalate in our final year and end up with the same degree on paper as myself: BSc (Hons) Anatomy, the following they got their MBBS. That is not an equitable system.
