Dear Imperial College London,

I would be most grateful if you would provide me, under the Freedom of Information Act, details in respect to the intercalated BSc degrees undertaken by medical students at your medical school.

1) In your undergraduate medical degree course, is it compulsory or optional for students to undertake an intercalated BSc degree during their medical studies?

2) Do you offer intercalated BSc modules on any/all of the following topics (or related topics)? If so, please could you list which ones you provide options to study:

a. Anatomy/ anatomical sciences/ dissection
b. Radiology/ medical imaging
c. Medical physics

3) In the last 5 academic years of students (Sept 2016 to 2021) could you tell me how many students in total have completed an intercalated BSc (per year), and of these how many chose to undertake the above modules (relating to anatomy, radiology, medical physics).

Please provide numbers of students per year, per subject module and whether you have information on the average mark and range of ranks achieved (e.g. % score or grade)

4) Is there a requirement for students to also conduct original research and produce a dissertation/thesis as part of any of these study modules/topics; or are they just examined by a written test?

5) If there is a need to produce a dissertation/thesis as part of the module selected, would it be possible to provide the titles of the dissertations submitted over the last 5 years for these modules? Please provide the dissertation titles per year and per subject module.

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Yours faithfully,

Susan Shelmerdine
