What students say about dental-hygiene

The best parts are definitely the location as it's easy to get to from the train station with the campus looking very professional when you arrive. At the start of the year, I had student counselling, and it was amazing. The support was fantastic, and although the wait times were fairly long, it was definitely worth it. Excusing the IT support, the facilities that are provided are above standard, clean and perfect for ease of use. IT systems and the Student Union is barely noticeable. Whenever lecturers need to access something, they have to fix the IT system themselves because IT refuses to do any work, or only knows how to make a keyboard work. Thing that we need to actually complete our work are not installed on the PCs even after the lecturer has asked them to be added. It's a recurring pattern that has been happening since the first year, and it seems like it won't be stopping anytime soon.

The lecturers and facilities of the school are just top notch. The lecturers are very involved and interested in your progress. I am still struggling with finding a part time job. That’s is the only negative for me at the moment

The location is super nice with a beach near by and all uni buildings close together. The facilities the uni has to offer are good library, ravelin sport Center. The sport clubs available are extremely enjoyable. The welfare and student support is good but could be advertised a bit more often so everyone knows what’s available and where etc

Overall the lecturers very supportive, the courses very challenging, but its fun! The library covers everything I need. The amount of courses is actually compulsory only for my 1st semester, and the assessments come together in the same time! Makes me overwhelmed but still okay we have wellbeing support.

Everything about UoB is great! Especially being an international student, UoB has provided me with a sense of warmth and welcoming and has created an environment that feels like a home away from home. The exposure we have as university students to the field of careers is amazing. And the university also has an amazing careers connect team that provide one-to-one support from mock interviews to CV reviews. The academic faculty is filled with professors who are experts in their chosen fields.

What students say about dental-hygiene

The university has been really supportive, and it offers so many invaluable opportunities to learn, work and wind-down. There is always something on that students can get involved in, whether it is organised directly by the university or by the societies within the guild - there is something for everyone. I have received great support, both while being here but also during the application process. There is such a nice atmosphere on campus. It is a place where students feel welcome and comfortable. When attending the open days I just felt it was the right place for me. There aren't really many negatives apart from the usual stress of deadlines and high workload, but this is easy to overcome if you manage your time correctly, and there is lots of great support to help with this.

I absolutely love the city and the facilities are great however because the uni is so big you have to be very independent it’s not always easy to get support because everything here is so broad and vast. Accommodation is okay definitely good buzz but living wise it’s not great. City is a bit unsafe.

UHI is a fantastic university for distance learning courses. The support that they provide is assuring, teachers are helpful and knowledgeable, and the intended learning outcomes are very clearly outlined from the very start. Accordingly, I enthusiastically recommend studying the PG distance learning courses through the UHI!

The students at our university are the most important people on campus. Our university is very good at putting the students first and allowing them to have their say. Furthermore, there is a multitude of opportunities for staff and students to work together making the campus feel more like a community. I myself have worked with the Comms; Events; People and Wellbeing teams allowing me to form close bonds with facility.

Studying dental hygiene

Studying dental hygiene teaches you to deliver dental care as well as covering topics such as patient service and clinical skills. You’ll learn how to scale teeth, polish teeth and apply topical fluoride and fissure sealants throughout your degree. Most courses are accredited by the General Dental Council, which means upon graduation you’ll be able to register with the General Dental Council and start practicing. Most graduates go on to work as dental hygienists. In this job, you’ll be helping patients of all ages care for their teeth and gums. Most dental hygienist roles are within dental practices, but you could also work in a hospital or community dental service.
