Getting started on the MBChB medical programme

Registration opens on 1 September. You should aim to complete all ten steps of registration as early as possible.

Access to learning materials

24 hours after you complete registration, you should be able to access the following platforms:

• Canvas - Your central learning environment, where you'll find learning materials and induction-specific information.
• 1Med - Where you'll find your live, personalised timetable. This live timetable will not be available until around 18 or 19 September - you will receive an email when it becomes available.

Introduction to Medicine 

Our Medical Programme induction is incorporated into the first three weeks of the semester and is known as Introduction to Medicine. This period provides new students with an orientation and introduction to Manchester, the University, and all elements of the Programme, including Team-Based Learning (TBL), group-based activities, Anatomy, Practical, Consultation, and Clinical Skills.

During Introduction to Medicine, you will meet your peers and the clinical and academic staff who will be teaching you, and you'll be introduced to the learning spaces you'll use over the next two years.

Start date

The official start date for the programme is Monday 22 September 2025.

This is the beginning of these important induction activities, training, and teaching. It's essential 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 applies to you, please don’t worry. Just get in touch with us as soon as possible at ug.medicine@manchester.ac.uk, and we’ll do our best to support you.
