MSc Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics (Dental Specialties) / Application and selection

Year of entry: 2025

How to apply

Please apply via our online application form . See the application and selection section for details of the supporting documents we require.

As there is a high demand for our courses we operate a staged admissions process with selection deadlines throughout the year. Due to the competition for places and high quality of applications that we receive, we give preference to applicants with grades above our minimum entry requirements and who can demonstrate relevant experience.

Please ensure you submit all supporting documentation with your application before the application deadline to avoid a delay in processing. Incomplete applications will held over to the next stage and will not be reviewed until all documentation is received.

Applications for 2025 entry

  • Stage 1: Application received by 2 December 2024. Interview invite/decision by 13 January 2025.
  • Stage 2: Application received by 3 March 2025. Interview invite/decision by 7 April 2025.
  • Stage 3: Application received by 2 June 2025. Interview invite/decision by 7 July 2025.

Whilst we aim to give you a decision on your application by the deadline date, in some instances due to the competition for places and the volume of applications received, it may be necessary to put your application on a waitlist. If this is the case we will let you know by the deadline date of your stage. Applications placed on the waitlist will be review during Stage 3.

Please Note: All places are subject to availability and if you apply at one of the later stages, the course may already be reaching capacity or be closed to further applications. We, therefore, recommend that you apply early in the cycle to avoid disappointment.
