General requirements

We aim to build a picture of the circumstances that may have adversely affected an applicant’s education and academic potential. When assessing an application we will consider a range of educational, social, family, and individual characteristics and experiences. Applications for this course will therefore only be considered if the contextual entry requirements are met alongside the academic criteria.

Applicants for this course must not meet the A level and GCSE grade requirements for the five-year Dental Surgery (A102) course. However, if you meet either the GCSE or A level requirements for A206 but not the other, then you would be considered for the foundation course.
