Why study this course
Top 4 in the UK
for dentistry (The Complete University Guide 2025).
£2.2 million simulation suite
Our £2.2 million state-of-the-art simulation suite, cutting edge intra oral scanners, and 3D printing will prepare you for delivery of dental care to patients.
Early clinical exposure
You'll gain early clinical exposure in the University Dental Hospital, which we are lucky enough to call our home, under the close supervision of experienced, supportive clinicians.
Firm choice
As part of our offer to you, if you choose us as your firm university choice we promise to save your place for the following year’s entry if you miss your offer grades to allow you to resit your exams.
As a Dentist, you’ll lead a dental team, diagnose and treat dental diseases, repair dental and related facial injuries, and give patients advice and guidance on looking after their oral health.
You’ll safely practice your clinical skills in our dental simulation suite, on mannequins that are fondly known as ‘phantom heads’. This hands-on experience will prepare you for the wide range of real clinical scenarios that you’ll get stuck into later in the course, thanks to our strong links with the NHS.
Not only will you study in the University Dental Hospital which we're 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.
This course is also the perfect launchpad for a career as a specialist in a particular area of dentistry, or as a researcher, exploring some of the biggest challenges facing our society.
