A205 Plymouth Dentistry with Foundation Year

Haven’t seen any official threads with about people applying to this course. I don’t know if the fact that they only have 10 spots this year scared people anyway but I applied anyways 🤷🏾*♀️

Hi there, great to hear you have applied for dentistry at Plymouth! 😊

It can definitely be daunting when applications are competitive, especially when spaces are limited, but it's always worth an application if it's a university you're keen to study at, as one of those spaces could be yours! 😄

I'm unsure if there is an 'official' thread for this particular course, but I have spotted a few here and here if you're looking to chat to other applicants, discuss the process, and ask questions.

I'm a current student (though on a different course) here at Plymouth so if you have any questions, feel free to reach out and I'd be happy to help! Best of luck with your application! 🙌

i think 4, at least 3 but i think the interview rate is probably only a little below the normal, depending on which school you look at
