Intercalation during the third or fourth year of study
Students receiving a student loan for tuition and/or maintenance can apply for this funding for the intercalated year on the same basis that they are currently in receipt of it.
If you are claiming a student loan for the first time, please ensure you apply for it in good time as it can take several weeks for you to be assessed.
Intercalation during the fifth year of study
Students entering their fifth year of study at the start of the course in August should be eligible to have their tuition fees for the year paid by NHS bursaries. Students can also apply for maintenance support from the NHS and receive a reduced maintenance loan from Student Finance.
Contact the student fees team for further information.
NHS bursaries will not cover funding for students who are in their third or fourth year of study.
Other sources of funding
The Medical School has an excellent track record in supporting students to secure funding from external bodies.

There is also a small, non-means tested bursary available from NHS Bursaries for students who entered medicine from 2012-13.
