MSc Clinical Dentistry (Paediatric Dentistry) / Application and selection

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

We recommend that you apply as early as possible. We reserve the right to close applications if the course is full.

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 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 : Complete application received by 2nd December 2024. Decision (including interview invite) by 13th January 2025.
• Stage 2 : Complete application received by 3rd March 2025. Decision (including interview invite) by 14th April 2025.

Provisional interview dates

• Stage 1 : Week beginning 20th January 2025.
• Stage 2 : Week beginning 21st April 2025.

While we aim to give you a decision on your application by the deadline date, in some instances it may be necessary to put your application on a waitlist (this may be before or after interview). If this is the case, we will let you know by the deadline date of your stage or after interview. Applications placed on the waitlist will be reviewed during the final stage.

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

You must provide the following with your application:

• Proof of two years' recent post-graduate clinical experience, which cannot include your internship.
• Two academic references must be sought. You will be required to provide contact details for two academic referees when completing your application form. Professional references can be provided in instances where you have been out of university for more than three years.
• Official degree certificates (with transcripts if not in English).
• Official academic transcripts of previous study showing the subjects taken and grades obtained. If these are in a language other than English please provide official translations. If you hold a BDS from a UK university, you do not need to provide a transcript of results, but you must provide a copy of the certificate.
• Personal statement (300-500 words).
• Full CV.
• Proof of English Language certification if you are an EU/international applicant from a country not officially recognised as majority English-speaking.

Only applications with all required supporting documentation will be processed. Conditional offers cannot be made for those who do not meet the minimum requirements for the course.
