@Mesopotamian., apologies if you got any notifications about posts being approved or unapproved - I was rearranging the posts about entry requirements in this thread to make them bunched together.

I've just put this article together:
https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/university/courses/dentistry/dentistry-entry-requirements

And will ask for the old one to be taken down and redirected to this new one.
What do you think? :biggrin:

Fantastic! Much more aesthetic and easier on the eyes :tongue:

Are you planning to update the graduate and gateway links too?

Also no worries, I didn't get any notifications :smile:

Just pasting this here because I'm worried that editing this article will result in half of it vanishing

Okay it's refusing to let me edit the work experience article so that's going to need the staff to press a few buttons during the week :redface:

I've just had a look at the other Dentistry Wiki pages (forgive me If I've already mentioned some of them before, I unwittingly looked at things in a random order and I can't remember what I've checked and not checked :facepalm:

):

•

Dentistry Interview page: all fine except UKCAT needs to be changed to UCAT at the top of the page (very picky I know, but some poor innocent soul will probably get confused at some point)

•

Personal statement page: all good

•

Graduate entry requirements page: needs to be updated (info has been provided on this thread) - Aberdeen + UCLAN + KCL Graduate entry

•

Pre-dental course requirements page: needs to be updated (info has been provided on this thread) - Dundee Gateway + Manchester Foundation + Cardiff Foundation + Bristol Gateway + KCL ESDP

•

Work experience page: needs to be updated (info has been provided on this thread)

•

Example personal statements: all good (this is a fantastic resource, I wish I'd seen this when I was applying :frown: )

•

Dental applicant profiles:

fine
[*]A week in a life of a dentistry student: fine

What's left to review (I need to spend a bit more time updating these)

•

Dental school contact details

•

The UKCAT for dentistry

Quick update:
- The old Entry Requirements page is gone, and redirects to the new one. :yay:

- Still having technical difficulties over the work experience page but we'll get there.

- Will look to update the GED Entry Requirements page next (this week) along with the gateway/access/foundation type courses entry requirements page. :smile:

Made some progress this morning with:
https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/university/courses/dentistry/entry-requirements-for-pre-dental-courses

Need to add a few notes introducing the article but would appreciate if you could let me know if anything needs adding or changing. :colondollar:

Hi on the Dentistry Entry Requirements page for Manchester under graduate requirements it says not specified but I found this on the manchester uni website.

https://www.manchester.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/2021/00398/bds-dentistry-first-year-entry/entry-requirements/#alternative-entry-requirements

Non-standard educational routes
We welcome applications from graduates or those in their final year of study towards an undergraduate degree. You should have achieved or be predicted a minimum of an upper second (2:1) honours degree and should have achieved a minimum of BBB at A-level (32 in IB) in your first sitting.

Applicants with a relevant science degree are exempted from our subject specification at A-Level, but you must still meet the BBB academic standard. Relevant subjects include most Biomedical and Life Sciences disciplines or other approved courses. Please see our FAQ pages.

Applicants offering other degrees will need to hold at least two science subjects at A-level including Biology and Chemistry.

Please note that we do not accept ordinary or ungraded degrees. If you have a non-relevant degree and don't have the requisite science A-levels you are eligible to apply for our foundation year. Alternatively, you may sit the missing A-level subject(s) and apply for the 5-year course.

We don't accept A-level re-sits for the purpose of improving grades from graduates.

UCAT, Maths at minimum Grade B (6) in GCSE and English Language requirements also apply.

Graduates and final year undergraduates must offer an academic reference on their UCAS form.
