    institution

    Cardiff University

    Cardiff University opened in 1883, and received its royal charter only a year later. At the time, it was called the University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire, and had just over 150 students, full and part-time.

    Course Summary

    Cardiff University’s BDS in Dental Surgery is a qualifying degree that will allow you to register with the General Dental Council, with only one more step – your Dental Foundation Training year – between you and professional practice as a dentist.

    Cardiff’s School of Dentistry is relatively small, with only around 100 students each year. This ensures an excellent staff to student ratio, and a great deal of individual attention at each of the 5 years you’d be studying with them

    You will learn everything you need to prepare you for your Foundation Training Year, including the biosciences as they relate to dentistry and the fine art of patient care. Most importantly, you’ll gain actual experience caring for patients in a wide range of settings.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

    Course Outline

    This course is typically delivered over 5 years at full time.

    Year 2:

    From this year onwards you will be taught at the School of Dentistry. You’ll learn enhanced clinical skills, and will begin seeing actual patients – under close supervision at first.

You will also have the opportunity to conduct and present research, both on a group and individual basis.

    This degree qualifies you to begin your Foundation Training Year, which in turn will qualify you to work as a dentist anywhere in the UK. This is an extremely rewarding career, both on the financial and emotional levels. It is also one where new graduates are in high demand.
