Undergraduate dental education All dentists in the UK initially follow the same education and training, in order to qualify to work as a dentist. A candidate initially needs to obtain a bachelors degree (either a BDS or BChD) from one of the approved dental schools. This is then followed by further training related to the specialty chosen.
* Standard dental courses last five years and include academic education combined with theoretical and practical training in all aspects of dental practice.
Subjects studied include a wide range of health, biological and behavioural sciences, as well as clinical skills in all dental disciplines. The academic requirements for entrance to dental school are high. They vary according to the school and so should be checked individually.
* Accelerated dental courses last four years and include academic education combined with theoretical and practical training in all aspects of dental practice. These are for graduates who hold a 2:1 (or better) degree with a large element of biology and chemistry.
* Courses including pre-dental year are for candidates with non-science subjects to offer at A level (or equivalent). The pre-dental year is a preliminary course in chemistry, physics and biology and lasts normally 30 weeks and would immediately precede the five year degree course.
