Hi there i wanted too apply for a dentistry course in Pakistan

I was just wondering if I did dentistry in Pakistan would I have to do another course to qualify as a dentist in the UK

If so how long would that extra course be?

Which 2 year conversion are you referring to?

I thought those who have studied at a non-EU dental school just have to sit and pass the ORE (overseas registration exam), rather than doing further study.

You'll have to pass the ORE :smile: my dad did it many many years ago but I know someone who only did it last year so it's still in use.. It's by no means easy though so be prepared :colondollar:

+ it's expensive to sit the ORE and I think you only have 4 attempts maximum for each part.

Part 1 £600.
Part 2 £2250.
