Leicester GEP is not MBBS??

Does anyone know why Leicester's 4 and 5yr are not MBBS? (Its MBChB or something like that.) What does it mean?

Hey, MBChB is the same qualification as MBBS. MBChB is simply the Latin version; the ChB stands for Chirugiae Baccalaureus which is Latin for Bachelor of surgery, which in turn is the 'BS' part of the MBBS.

Thanks v much. I never really looked at Leicester until now but given my GEP route/application restrictions I am looking at it and it seems a good option....
