Dental hygiene and therapy 2025

Hi as anyone got any replies back for dental hygiene and therapy, I did apply early in October I still have not gotten a reply. I did BTEC level 3 national extended dip in applied science with DDM. The university requirements were DMM/DDM but for some reason I do not think they accept/pay attention to BTEC students do I have hope or no..?

Hi, im doing the same btec and also applied for dental therpay and hygiene. They said they will start considering applications once the ucas deadline passes (which is tommorow) which is probably why you havent heard back yet. The BTEC students have equal consideration to Alevel students so it wouldnt make a difference. Hope this helps!
