The course content seems to be based more on phases, than specific years. Phase 1 is Years 1-2, and goes as follows:

"Phase 1 (Years 1 and 2)
You’ll take five systems-based modules and three student-selected components in each of the two years of Phase 1.

Modules are based on body systems, which in turn encompass various scientific and medical themes. Each system is visited a minimum of three times during the programme.

We introduce the basic biological sciences and address key topics, including:

normal biological structure and function of cells, organs and body systems
the effect of illness on people and their families
the impact of environmental and social factors on health.
Student-selected components (SSCs)
SSCs allow you to build a portfolio of core competencies while focusing on topics of particular interest. Some are carried out in blocks of two to five weeks, while others run throughout the year."
