Undergraduate dental education
All dentists in the UK initially follow the same education and
training, in order to qualify to work as a dentist. A candidate
initially needs to obtain a bachelors degree (either a BDS or
BChD) from one of the approved dental schools. This is then followed by
further training related to the specialty chosen.
* Standard dental courses last five years and include
academic education combined with theoretical and practical
training in all aspects of dental practice.
Subjects studied include a wide range of health, biological and
behavioural sciences, as well as clinical skills in all dental
disciplines. The academic requirements for entrance to dental
school are high. They vary according to the school and so should
be checked individually.
* Accelerated dental courses last four years and include
academic education combined with theoretical and practical
training in all aspects of dental practice. These are for
graduates who hold a 2:1 (or better) degree with a large element
of biology and chemistry.
* Courses including pre-dental year
are for candidates with non-science subjects to offer at A level (or
equivalent). The pre-dental year is a preliminary course in chemistry,
physics and biology and lasts normally 30 weeks and would immediately
precede the five year degree course.
Our
goal is to become "The Recruitment Agency of Choice", for both our
clients and candidates alike. We don't want to be the largest agency;
we want to be the best run agency
