What are you studying right now? A levels? A BTEC? Something else? What subject(s)? How is it going? Do you have any particular grade expectations yet, or is it too early? Do the five GCSEs that you have include Maths and English Language? By "pass" do you mean grade 4 or grade 5?

Hello,

There are a few different courses you can do in the dental or health industry. A lot of universities offer a Foundation Year, in case you didn't get the grades through exams, so that can be something you can consider.

Dental:

•

•

Dental Nurse

•

Dental Hygienist

•

Dental Therapy: https://www.uclan.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses/dental-therapy-bsc

Medical:

•

Medicine https://www.uclan.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses/medicine-mbbs

•

You can also do a career quiz, which can help you get insight on what fields you might be good in/ interested in.

Best of luck and try your best to visit an Open Day to help you get a better picture.
