foundation year 0 for dental therapy

Hi there,

The timetables don't tend to get released until a few weeks ahead of term, at least for the university itself, its quite frustrating but a result of the complications in timetabling so many courses! It could be different for Carmel College though.

does anyone have any idea of the timetable at carmel college for the foundation year please

I’m starting the foundation course at Carmel college in September. I’ve emailed the college to try and get an idea of some information but no reply yet. Have you got any idea about accommodation yet, with it being 10 miles from the actual uni?

I'm just about to finish my foundation year at Carmel College so hopefully I can provide some insight! Whilst I'm not on the health and vet studies side of the foundation year, I have a few friends who are. Everybody's timetable is different and you won't actually get it until the week before term starts unfortunately, however the health students are guaranteed a Wednesday off. Let me know if you have any other questions about the foundation year

Thanks for that! Where did you stay whilst you studied at Carmel College, did you stay near the Uni or near the college? Thanks

No worries! I stayed near the uni, it’s been really nice having access to the uni facilities and having friends close by. I don’t want to encourage or discourage you from either option. But what I’d say is definitely take a look at how you’ll get to the college each day and what sort of time it’ll take you to get there. A lot of people this year were frustrated with the journey, but I think as long as you’re aware of it and make use of the
time on the bus to get some uni work done you’ll be fine.

What do u need to do to progress to the degree ??

Depends on the course you’re going on to. For the science and engineering courses you generally need a 50% average in your lead module, and 40% in your two other modules. Health and vet have higher boundaries to hit, I think it might be 60%. Your average grade is weighted 30% coursework, and 70% final exam.

Has anyone had any info on DBS or occ health? I had an email a few months ago saying this would need to be done but nothing since x
