Your first week

Your first day of the Foundation Year programme induction is Monday 22 September 2025.

This marks the start of your programme-specific induction, where you’ll be welcomed to the programme by Dr Hazel England, the Academic Lead for our pre-medical and pre-dental programmes.

Your first week includes important induction activities, training, and teaching. It’s really important that you're in Manchester and ready to attend your timetabled sessions from this date.

We understand that some students may face unavoidable delays, such as visa issues, that could affect their arrival. If this happens, please don’t worry. Just let us know as soon as possible by contacting ug.medicine@manchester.ac.uk so we can help.

The Foundation Programme is taught within the School of Medical Sciences in partnership with Xaverian College. You will get an opportunity to visit Xaverian College during Welcome Week.
