About Biomedical And Healthcare Ethics Intercalated BA in University of Leeds

Intercalation is a great way to explore a new subject area, enhance your employability, and broaden your perspective. If you're studying medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine or a related subject our intercalation courses will make the ideal supplement for your degree.

You'll explore the complex ethical dilemmas arising from working in medicine and healthcare, and gain the skills you need to respond quickly and effectively.

You'll study a range of issues including consent, responsibility, abortion, euthanasia, patient rights, and genetic enhancement. You'll also learn alongside non-intercalation students including professionals in a range of fields, allowing you to benefit from their insights and experiences.

If you're looking to gain a more advanced qualification, this course is also available as a Masters degree. The courses share taught content, but the Masters course students also complete an independent research dissertation.

Specialist facilities

The world class Brotherton Library holds a wide variety of manuscript, archive and early printed material in its Special Collections – valuable assets for your independent research. Our additional library resources are also excellent, and the University Library offers a comprehensive training programme to help you make the most of them.

If you’re choosing to study a language as part of your joint honours degree, our Language Zone gives you access to free learning resources, including space for personal study, language learning software, and video, audio, books and magazines. You'll also have access to our translation computer labs equipped with specialist software and our interpreter training booths to explore different career options.

Career opportunities

Intercalating gives you the opportunity to build upon the skills and knowledge you develop in your main degree, and gain a more rounded perspective on your subject.

An additional qualification can also be an advantage in the competitive graduate job market, or if you're applying to the NHS Foundation Programme.

Our courses are also excellent preparation if you decide to pursue a career in research or academia, and some of our students have chosen to pursue a doctoral degree after completing their studies.
