Intercalated Medicine Degree

Say that you do an intercalated degree during a Medicine course, in healthcare ethics and law and got a 1st. But then fail your 5th year of medicine. Would such an intercalated degree offer much hope in the graduate jobs market and if so what kind of jobs do you think it would open up?

this is hypothetically as I'm in medschool and not planning on failing! But considering an intercalation to strengthen my hospital aplications at the end and as a back up incase the nightmare of failing were to happen!

Thanks guys!

Ridcully

The BSc will make you look good compared to the other people who failed year 5, but those who passed will rank higher than you. There are 40 points available in MTAS for your year ranking, but only 4 for all other academic achievements, including intercalated degrees. The numbers of points may change year on year (MTAS has been different every time so far!) but the principle is the the same.
