Dental tech or diagnostic radiography

I’ve been stuck on which of these courses I should use as my backup!! Does anyone know which career is more rewarding and better overall.

Backup for what? Do you mean your 5th choice for dent or med?

Ah okay. I don't know much about dental tech sorry. There are a few DR courses that appear to still be open to applications (using UCAS search and adding filter 'Show courses with vacancies') so might be an option for UCAS Extra (note: also check directly with uni before you apply as unis don't always update UCAS quickly). Any DR places get snapped up quickly in clearing so you would need to act quickly on results day. You would still be interviewed for courses in clearing or Extra.
