St Lukes Campus, Exeter; University of Plymouth and clinical locations in Plymouth, Exeter, Truro and Torbay

The programme is a patient-centred course delivered in a supportive and research-rich environment. Clinical training starts in your first week with visits to local dental surgeries and extends throughout its duration. Science and clinical skills are integrated in the curriculum and you will learn within a variety of dental teaching clinics. You will also work within both the educational and voluntary sectors and with hospital consultants. You must be able to communicate with patients and colleagues, work well in a team, have the ability to make decisions, lead when appropriate and be effective under pressure. The programme will prepare you to approach clinical problems holistically, appreciating personal and social dimensions as well as the biomedical basis of oral disease.

The programme is designed for those with a good Honours degree in a biomedically related or healthcare professional subject or relevant experience of working as a healthcare professional. Healthcare professionals without a relevant degree-level qualification must sit the Graduate Medical Schools Admissions Test (GAMAST) to be considered for admission.
