BDS Dentistry (first-year entry)

The Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) program provides a comprehensive foundation for a professional career in dentistry by integrating rigorous clinical training with the study of both fundamental and advanced dental sciences. After mastering essential competencies within specialized university simulation facilities, students transition to direct patient care at the University Dental Hospital of Manchester and various local outreach clinics during the early stages of the curriculum. The program emphasizes a patient-centered approach, training students to function effectively within multidisciplinary dental teams while adhering to the highest standards of professional, safe, and ethical practice. Furthermore, the course is designed to cultivate reflective practitioners who are committed to continuous professional development and lifelong learning. It is important to note that the program is currently undergoing a formal review, which may result in pedagogical modifications for the 2026 entry; offer holders will be duly informed of any confirmed updates to the curriculum.
