Not only will you study in the University Dental Hospital which we are lucky enough to call our home, but you'll also embark on clinical placements in Wales, where you'll be surrounded by an experienced team of clinicians, supporting you to become the best dental professional you can be.

When you graduate, you can register with the General Dental Council and work across the dental sector including general dental care, community dental care, dental public health, hospital dental care and the armed forces.
