Cardiff Dentistry 2026

Hey guys! Is anyone applying for cardiff dentistry this year? I haven't found a forum yet so thought I'd make one! (If there already is one let me know so we can just stick to one and i can delete this one hehe)

hiya, i might do but am unsure because i don’t know if i could get contextual points due to my parents not having higher education and i’m from england so not sure how much they’ll prioritise welsh students

if you’re contextual that’s a different case which i wouldn’t know abt, but i applied last yr as a non contextual english student and got rejected w all A*s 2710 b1 bc tbey told me the cutoff for us was 2800 (it’s probably a bit lower for welsh applicants). if your ucat is rly high then go for it tho

I was going to apply with 2050 which is equivalent to 2770 last year but it cut off last year was 2800 i might change it to something else

yeah like i’m sorry for making you have to change/reconsider your choices bc
ik it’s super stressful, but i just thought it would be helpful to let ppl know that this was what cardiff’s admissions team told me last year when i emailed them (asking why i got rejected). just a reminder that they said that was the cutoff for ‘non contextual, rest of UK’ applicants. idk the cutoff for other groups of people x

Hey wondering what your GCSEs were to complement the A* success at A levels?

I’m applying with achieved A levels and was just wondering does anyone know if Cardiff will give points for each achieved A Level?

Hi was it pre or post interview rejection? Hope you don’t mind me asking

Does anyone know any good sources for interview prep they would be willing to share? 🥲

Hi guys,
Great to see you are all interested in coming to Cardiff, I am a student here and love it.
Yeah I can't see a Cardiff Dentistry 2026 thread, there are a few others about the process or ones from previous years.
I see you guys are helping each other out already by sharing your own experiences which is great. If you have questions about Cardiff Uni, being a student, or anything let me know.
Also we have an upcoming open day on Saturday the 18th of October (so in 10 days), if you are interested, its a great insight and a fun day!
