What you will study

Students learn the sciences underpinning dentistry and apply them in a simulated clinical environment, meeting their first patients by the end of the first semester. The curriculum is integrated with the 4D dentistry curriculum, so first-year students largely learn and are assessed alongside dental students, and an annual Discovery Week lets them explore a dental topic of their choice.

Career pathways

Graduates can register as dental therapists with the General Dental Council.
