You will require the following :  

1) Your personal statement. (If you are applying for more than one programme you will need to submit one statement per programme)

2) A copy of your academic transcript which shows results obtained so far on your medical degrees. (Leeds MBChB students can obtain one from student services)

3) Some programmes also require additional information:

- If you are applying for a postgraduate programme please provide a copy of your CV

- If you are applying for MA in Biomedical and Healthcare Ethics please provide a copy of a sample ethics essay. This could be an ethics essay you have submitted for your home degree, or you could write a new one based on one of the topics on the programme website.

If you are a Leeds MBChB student who is considering intercalating at another University, you will require permission from the School to intercalate.  Please fill out this request for permission form. You need to do this for each course you require permission for.

If you require references, please note only a generic reference confirming good academic standing can be provided. This can be requested by emailing intercalate@leeds.ac.uk.  If more detailed information about your academic performance is required, it is your responsibility to identify an academic staff member who knows you well and can comment appropriately.
