How your course will be delivered

Teaching and learning

The programme uses a mix of teaching and enquiry-based learning (EBL) techniques. 

It is delivered in partnership with Xaverian College, and teaching is split roughly 50/50 between the two sites. 

You will be registered as a full-time student of The University of Manchester. 

Most of the A-level content in biological sciences and chemistry is provided at Xaverian. This supplements the EBL sessions at the University which help you begin to apply the subject knowledge gained to short clinical scenarios or cases. 

You will also have weekly laboratory practical sessions and lectures, delivered at the University by University of Manchester staff, as well as the opportunity to research a medical topic
