Self-initiated Intercalated Years
CU Medicine students are empowered to make their own choices by having the right to initiate one or more intercalated years. Each student lives a different life, with unique dreams and plans. At CU medicine, it’s students who decide whether they are ready to spend a year abroad or prefer to explore a new academic field. Personal, optional and even multiples, our intercalated years' policy gives you the flexibility you need to build the career you want at the pace you choose.

A rewarding intercalated year of research and enrichment opportunities - Queenie WONG
I took a fruitful intercalated year to study Master of Science in Research Medicine and engage in various enrichment activities. Not only was I devoted to a neuro-oncology research project, but I also proactively exposed myself to a range of medical research, clinical attachments and conferences in the UK, Taiwan and Singapore, and started a neuroscience student association. This rewarding intercalated year has enabled me to attain holistic development with local and global exposure and paved the way for my aspiration of becoming a clinician-scientist in neuroscience in the future.
