Hello, I’m planning to apply for dental hygiene and therapy this year. I was just wondering if you know how many unis I can apply to for this course, is it 4 or 5?

Five. The four-choice limit applies only to vet med, dentistry and medicine.

can we only apply to 1 or does it have to be 5?

Hoping I get in this year. I have 4 years nursing experience. Done access to medicine. I am however so bad at personal statements

Have a read through the following thread - particularly the section on vocational subjects.

What thread sorry?

Is anybody applying to Sheffield university?

lol ive got no chance of getting in with all these dental nurses. I'm a school leaver and will be retaking a levels this year. idk if there's even a point in applying looking at these threads

thats exactly why i chose to study dental nursing in uni. you get experience and it boosts your application. but dont worry, plenty of school leavers get into dental hygiene/therapy. courses usually have a mix of both nurses and school leavers 🙂

yes that was a good idea. I guess I’m kinda stuck now, because I did apply for DHT last year but I got rejected after interview. I think it’s because I didn’t apply strategically enough. But I’m not sure if I should try again and actually look through the requirements before randomly applying. maybe I should just choose another course, I’m abit stuck.
