Study an innovative dental curriculum at a top school with world-class facilities and access to London’s diverse population.This five-year degree is designed to help you build the skills you will need as a dental professional. The Institute of Dentistry at Queen Mary University of London follows a new and innovative curriculum: you will study care of the mouth, including prevention and treatment of dental diseases, screening for oral cancers, managing trauma, orthodontics and oral surgery.Our location in east London means you will serve a population of great diversity and encounter a wide range of disease, including some of the more unusual oral cancers. You will be exposed to patients early on, and as you progress in your studies, you will work in our outreach clinics in Canary Wharf and Stratford. A further centre is due to be operational in the Homerton area in 2023-24.We encourage you to take a holistic approach to dentistry by studying the human sciences along with your core dentistry modules – including sociology and psychology – to examine patients’ attitude to oral healthcare and the dental profession.The Dental Schools Council has published a guide to the core values and attributes needed to study dentistry, which we recommend you read before making your application.More information about the course including entry requirements and selection criteria can be found on the QMUL coursefinder webpages.UCAS application deadline: 15 October
