Our role approving against undergraduate standards

We approve the medical degrees UK universities award.

We do this by making sure they are following the standards we set, by

• Monitoring and checks
• Resolving any issues of concern
• Sharing examples of good practice

We're also responsible for approving new medical schools and programmes.
