Overview

Gateway to Dentistry is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Dentistry often carries additional entry steps such as an interview, a health check or a criminal record check.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
