Careers-focused education
All teaching and learning activities are patient and student-centred and are specifically designed for students to experience authentic and contextual learning. The goal is to ensure that students are fully prepared for a primary care career and, in addition, provides the foundations on which to develop their knowledge and skills enabling them to enter any dental specialist training programme.
The curriculum focuses not only on imparting essential theoretical knowledge and clinical skills but also on nurturing critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and analytical skills. These foundational skills are transferable and form the basis for continuous learning throughout a dental professional's career.
A small number of students are offered the opportunity to intercalate during their studies to achieve a master’s level qualification on graduation. Intercalation allows students to interrupt their studies for a year following satisfactory completion of Year 3 of the Bachelor of Dental Surgery programme, in order to join an alternative programme within the University, before re-joining the BDS programme at Year 4.
