Intercalation is where you take a year out of your studies to undertake an additional degree. It is an exciting opportunity to broaden your skills and knowledge base by exploring an area of interest outside of your medical degree. It can have a positive impact on your future career, particularly if you are interested in pursuing academic training. Students should check they meet the intercalation criteria as per the policy.
Any student wishing to intercalate can apply directly to the course/institution, but should not accept a place without permission from KMMS. Where KMMS have won funds to support intercalation, students should make it clear in their application that they would like to be considered for this funded option, apply for a PG Masters course at the University of Kent or Canterbury Christ Church University, and evidence in their application how their chosen subject will aid their medical studies and develop their research experience. This opportunity is only open to current KMMS students.
To formally express interest in intercalating, (as a student) please see the page on the student portal, where you will find the application form.
If you have any questions related to the NIHR funded intercalated Masters degrees, please contact CATO@kmms.ac.uk.
