BSc (Hons) Dental Therapy and Hygiene with Integrated Foundation Year

Program Overview

The BSc Dental Therapy and Hygiene with Foundation year programme is designed for applicants who wish to study Dental Therapy and Hygiene but who are not currently appropriately qualified for entry to year one of the undergraduate programme. The course equips you with the scientific knowledge and skills needed to become a confident, critically self-aware, independent learner ready for the challenges of higher education and university life. The course may be particularly of interest for qualified Dental Nurses. You will be taught at the city centre campus where you will have the opportunity to meet your peers and academics, and where, from your very first day, you are part of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry. Modules aim to develop an understanding of the science relating to a range of exciting topic areas relevant to the study of Dental Therapy, and you can take advantage of academic support and guidance provided by a personal tutor. Meeting the entry requirements at the end of the foundation course enables you to apply for progression into year one of the Dental Therapy and Hygiene programme, where you will learn and practice clinical and academic skills as part of the dental team in an exciting and fast-paced integrated programme.
