The matrix is not an exhaustive list, and should be used as a guideline.  

The deadline for submitting taught programme amendments to Teaching and Learning Delivery (via email to quality@manchester.ac.uk) for 2025/26 are:

• Undergraduate programmes - 31 March 2025
• Postgraduae progrmames - 30 May 2025 

Please be aware that School and Faculty deadline may be considerably earlier than these dates, and you should ensure that you are aware of those deadlines.

It is vital that you adhere to the deadlines to ensure that we remain CMA compliant in relation to providing  material information.  Amendments submitted to TLD after these deadlines will usually only be accepted in cases of unforeseen and/or un-avoidable circumstances and you should contact your Faculty Teaching and Learning Officer in the first instance for advice. 

Several templates have been developed to ensure consistency when communicating material changes to students and offer-holders, and sets out our commitment in the Student Protection Plan - Policy on Refunds and Compensation. 

Unit specifications

A unit specification is a key reference document and care must be taken to ensure that it is accurate and up-to-date.

The University standard Course Unit template is below:

• Unit Specification 
• Guidance notes for the completion of the template.

Many of the elements are similar to those in programme specifications, e.g. aims, syllabus and learning and teaching methods. It is important that the intended learning outcomes specified for a unit contribute to those for the programme as a whole and are appropriate for the level or stage of the programme at which the unit is expected to be taken.
