Oral Health Sciences - 2014

I've applied to Glasgow Cal, Edinburgh, Dundee and UHI too. I work as a dental nurse at Aberdeen Dental School and I have been involved with the interviews for dental student for Aberdeen University. I know that it may be different as it's Aberdeen, but they are usually stations which are based around communication skills, getting to know you and small tests designed to test manual dexterity. Each station usually has one or two people in them, sometimes one talking to you with another marking, and sometimes with pretend patients. They don't usually ask dentistry related questions as far as I know. I'm hoping the 4 I've applied to would have a similar interview process as what I've seen in Aberdeen, although this is for dentists too so perhaps it would be slightly easier? The interviewers at my work say these are quite standard though!

A degree in Oral Health Sciences or Dental Hygiene and Dental Therapy (or diploma of higher education in Dental Hygiene and/or Dental Therapy) provides the route to qualifying as a dental hygienist or dental therapist. It is important to check course requirements very carefully for each university - see also What do I need to get on a course? Great source!

Hi is Dental therapy hygiene and oral health science the same?

I've heard back from Glasgow Cal and Dundee so far, I managed to get interviews for both of them at the beginning of February.
Still haven't heard back from Edinburgh though, hopefully that wont take too long!!
