• Flexible Honours FAQ https://documents.manchester.ac.uk/display.aspx?DocID=25970

  The FAQ describes a minor and up to 40 credits per year of free choice for single-honours students in arts, languages and cultures.

  Sets context for a bounded flexibility model: this local example belongs to a specific subject area and does not raise the university-level assessment to a regular minor model for all students.

• Minor in Digital Humanities https://www.digital-humanities.manchester.ac.uk/study/minor-in-digital-humanities/

  The page shows a structured 40-credit-per-year minor for students on single honours degrees and also notes that many units are available as free choice units.

  Model elements: a local minor mechanism and free-choice units, but not a basis for raising the whole university card.

• AMBS Undergraduate Handbook: course units https://www.ambs.ughandbook.manchester.ac.uk/programme/programme-information/course-units/

  The business school handbook describes compulsory and option units, and possible UCIL units where the programme structure includes a free choice unit.

  Model elements: distribution-style course choice: choice depends on programme structure, prerequisites, quotas and timetable.

• Study options in Modern Languages and Cultures https://www.alc.manchester.ac.uk/modern-languages/study/options/

  The page shows 120 credits per year, compulsory and optional course units, and for most single-honours students up to 40 credits of free choice units from many Faculty of Humanities subjects.

  Model elements: a humanities example of broader course choice that remains bounded by a faculty context.

• MBChB Medicine https://www.manchester.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/2027/01428/mbchb-medicine/

  The official medicine page states a five-year duration and describes personalized excellence pathways and student-selected clinical placements inside a professional programme.

  Model elements: upper duration bound; limited flexibility inside a fixed professional pathway.
