BSc Dental Hygiene and Therapy / Careers

Graduates can register with the General Dental Council as a dental hygienist or dental therapist and work in the NHS, private practice, large corporations or the armed forces.

Other graduates may wish to pursue an academic career and undertake a research degree after completing the course.

We offer careers advice throughout the three years of the course, with the bulk of this concentrated in Year 3 in the run-up to graduation.
