Dental Hygiene and Therapy 2017

Scroll to see replies

You need to mention all the qualities, and attributes you possess that are related/ required for the course you are applying. Give some examples of experiences you have had, and show how and why you are so enthusiastic about doing the course. Do your research about the course and the university you would like to go to and mention how that university's mission, vision and ethos relates to you. In short - it is mostly about telling them about yourself.

Hope this helps.

Thank you! About to get started now!

If you are only applying to Teeside, try to look at what they specifically want and tailor it to them.

If your application will also contain applications to other unis, try to make it non-specific and do not mention an individual university name as this will work against you.

Best of luck :smile:

Thank you so much! I'm gonna keep it non-specific for now just in case!

Hi, I don't think there is a thread for those who are looking to do dental hygiene and therapy for the 2017 entry so I made one :smile:

Hopefully get to know some potential peers??

What the difference between a dental hygienist/therapist and a dentist???

Don't give up it will happen!
Show your passion and how much you want to do the course and link experiences into your answers. Try to be a little different too don't do the generic answer which everyone puts make your answers stand out. Good luck! :smile:

Congratulations! If you don't mind me asking, what qualifications did you apply with and what kind of questions did they ask in the interview?

Thankyou. I've got almost 9 years dental nurse experience, certificate in oral health education, radiography and 5 A levels but I didn't do very well in Biology. It's so competitive, but you just have to show how much you want it in your applications.
Every interview is different but Sheffield asked mostly scenario questions. Hope that helps x
