Our Dentistry Work Experience & Careers Day is designed to give you a clear and realistic understanding of what it takes to secure a place at dental school.

In the morning session, led by practising dentists and current dental students, you’ll learn exactly what is required to study dentistry at university. We’ll cover subject requirements, grade expectations, and the range of dental schools, including how their teaching approaches may differ. You’ll gain insight into entrance requirements, interviews and how to build a competitive application profile. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clear roadmap to guide your journey into dentistry.

In the afternoon, you’ll take part in structured virtual dentistry work experience. Working through clinical scenarios alongside experienced dentists, you’ll explore procedures such as extractions and fillings while gaining insight into patient communication and day-to-day life in the profession.

These sessions are designed to give you practical examples and reflections that you can confidently reference in personal statements and interviews.

By the end of the day, you’ll understand exactly what is required to apply successfully to dental school and have meaningful work experience to strengthen your future applications.
