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've loads of credits!". Those credits are for an MBBS, you can'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.
