Contact the unis concerned, admissions, NEBDN or the school itself. They may not convert directly into ucas points. I at first thought they were international qualifications, but I think they are just specialist professional ones?

This is a bit of advice from Sheffield and you can see their entrance requirements. You would have to find out how they might regard the qualifications you are offering.

UCAS points normally refer to level 3 or equivalent.

Thank you . I have checked the UCAS Tariff however it is confusing. NEBDN is no longer used now but is still issued for registered dental nurses by the British Dental Association. I know it is classified as level 3 however I don’t know what to place form the ucas tariff as there are so many different types of level 3 ! 🤔Also dental radiography is considered as level 4 but I can’t see how to use that on UCAS. I will just have to contact them and hopefully someone will know! The Essex university says they do accept NEBDN but it’s how to get it accepted by UCAS is the big question 😊
