The MBChB Programme is described in a detailed and comprehensive Programme Specification (available in the Policies section of the handbook) that complies with The University of Manchester degree regulations and the requirements of the GMC for the award of Primary Medical Qualifications. (See also: Regulations for MBChB)

The MBChB Programme Specification is under constant revision to reflect advances in medicine, medical education and changes in the delivery of healthcare. The handbook therefore reflects information and requirements for all students for their current year of study.
