Partner Universities Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden University of Melbourne Australia Whole year National University of Singapore University of California -- single semester University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

Where can I go to suit my programme? Biomedical Science – free choice. Only Biomed can go to Karolinska Institute Biochemistry – Melbourne, Singapore, UC maybe and may depend on which campus Molecular Genetics - Melbourne, UC maybe and may depend on which campus, UNC maybe Neuroscience – Melbourne, UC possible and may depend on which campus Anatomy, Developmental and Human Biology – Melbourne, Singapore maybe, UNC maybe Pharmacology/Pharmacology & Mol Gen . – discuss with programme adviser Physiology – discuss with programme adviser

University of California Maths requirement Must have evidence of passing exams that include calculus (A2 Maths or equivalent) You cannot apply to UC without this Six independent campuses/colleges Los Angeles San Diego Irvine Berkeley Santa Barbara Davis But you cannot choose which, they will assign you to one if accepted

Getting onto your chosen modules Karolinska - set programme: no choice Melbourne and Singapore most flexible relatively easy to get on courses UC and UNC - Sign-up is on a first-come-first served basis and priority may be given to home students You will need to be pro-active (persist, pushy, pesky, persuasive) with module co-ordinators

Frequently asked Questions Can I change programmes while abroad? Yes, but better to wait until after your return How does it contribute to my degree grade? You must pass the equivalent of 120 KCL credits, but grades do not contribute to final degree classification Can I apply for Medicine or Dentistry after studying abroad? Yes, but you will need to do well, even though grades do not count Can I also do an extra-mural year? Yes, and you can even do it abroad Is single semester exchange available? Yes, but only at UNC this year
