This innovative programme has been specifically designed to facilitate the development of real-world clinical, team working, and leadership skills, along with essential personal growth. The BSc Dental Therapy programme embraces the University’s hallmarks of active learning, confidence, authentic assessment, and research-connected teaching, as well as having many notable and unique design elements.
The programme shares a three year Collaborative Learning Core (CLC) with dental surgery students, where learning and collaborating in teams builds mutual respect and understanding of the varied roles of the dental team.
Components within the programme are closely integrated and provide clear steps for you to develop, integrate and demonstrate your skills before building to the next level of clinical capability. Clinical experience commences in the first year of the programme and is underpinned by aligned medical and anatomical knowledge; communication skills; professionalism; ethics and clinical safety.
During the programme, you will also have opportunities to experience and develop your skills in a primary care setting and engage with the local community. Quality improvement projects are also included in the programme to ensure an in-depth understanding of clinical governance.
Learning and assessment are supported by state-of-the-art technology to provide a personalised mechanism for monitoring your progress and allowing you to take control of your own learning.
Through embedding continuous personal development within the curriculum, you will understand the importance of self-reflection, goal setting and on-going professional development, an ethos aimed at ensuring that you will be prepared for the demands of both the profession and life after University.

We consider Access Courses to be suitable for adult learners who should normally have been out of education for at least 5 years. Applicants offering Access to Higher Education Diplomas should present from courses with a minimum of 12 units in Biology and 12 units in Chemistry content at Level 3. Candidates are expected to achieve a distinction in 45 credits at level 3. We would expect the equivalent of a score of 80% to be achieved overall. Further information will be requested from the applicant at the time of application to ensure the Access Course being taken meets the required academic criteria. Not all Access Courses meet the required entry criteria. We do not consider Access Courses to be appropriate for students who have failed to achieve the necessary A level grades in the last 5 years. At least 5 GCSE subjects at grade C/5 including Maths, English Language and a Science; if Dual Science has not been taken Biology GCSE is required. Vocational/Applied GCSEs such as BTECs, Cambridge Nationals etc. are not accepted. Functional skills qualifications will not be considered in place of GCSEs. The GCSE requirements should be in place at the time of application. We are unable to consider pending grades at GCSE level. The Access Course should be completed in one year. Students are required to begin our Dental Therapy course within 2 years of completing their Access programme. Only the first full Access qualification that the applicant is awarded will be considered. We do not accept online or distance learning Access courses.
GCSE/National 4/National 5
Applicants who have not taken GCSEs are required to have completed equivalent qualifications and to have achieved the equivalent to the below in terms of subjects and grades. We use GCSE grades when shortlisting for interview so it is important to provide full details of these examinations and failure to do so will lead to rejection of the application. All applicants must have 6 GCSEs at grade C/5 or above which must include English Language, Maths and a Science; if Dual Science has not been taken Biology GCSE is required. Applicants should distinguish between full and short courses on their application form. Two short courses will be counted in lieu of one full course.
