Learn the theory of dental science and the value of evidence-based dentistry while acquiring the practical skills to apply that knowledge in a clinical setting.
Sheffield’s BDS Dental Surgery programme is designed to give you practical, hands-on experience in dentistry as early as possible.
From the first year, you’ll visit dental clinics and start to learn about your role as a healthcare professional in the dental team. As you become more experienced, you'll sharpen your skills on placements in general dental practice.
Our five-year course is divided into nine integrated themes, from fundamental human anatomy to oral disease and integrated clinical practice. The first year introduces you to the structure and function of the human body and of a healthy mouth. Year two is about providing comprehensive care for patients across their lifespan. In your third year, you will gain the skills and knowledge to treat patients holistically.
During the final two years, you will learn how to treat patients of all ages with increasingly complex care needs and learn more about recognising, diagnosing and preventing oral diseases. You'll also have the opportunity to undertake an elective placement and study a topic of your choice.
The General Dental Council quality assures and approves qualifications for registration, for the following registrant groups: dentists, dental hygienists, dental therapists, dental nurses, clinical dental technicians, dental technicians, and orthodontic therapists.
