Undergraduate Dental Program
Graduate Dental Programs
Undergraduate Dental Program
Traditionally dental schools in Australia offer five-year Undergraduate Dental programs. Students’ can enter these programs directly from high school. It is suggested that students have background knowledge in Math (Calculus), Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Entry to all Dental Schools in Australia is very competitive as all universities will have an international quota. There are strict application deadlines and specific entry requirements. Some universities require additional tests and interviews. In March 2010, the Australian Dental Association and the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada signed a reciprocal agreement that recognizes graduates of accredited dental programs in Australia and Canada for certification. Unlike graduates of non-accredited programs, students who graduate from an accredited dental program in Australia after 2010 will not be required to do a two year qualifying program prior to applying for certification. Due to the agreement, graduates of accredited Australian programs will have the same certification processes as graduates of accredited Canadian programs.
Dentistry courses in the UK generally last five years and are demanding at both an academic and technical level. Dentistry students will study the cause, prevention, management and treatment of oral and dental disease. Dentistry is one of the most competitive courses in the UK to apply for and successful applicants will require strong academic grades, the commitment to complete a long degree and the practical and mental skills needed to concentrate over long periods of time. KOM Consultants will advise on requirements, documents, deadlines etc. Dentistry graduates will complete their course with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) award. Accreditation at UK Dental schools will be required to complete the NDEB equivalency process. Some students may be required to complete a two year qualifying program prior to applying for registration.
