Dental Public Health

Completed applications (which will normally consist of an online application form, both references and a transcript of previous degrees) will be considered on a "first come first served" according to the date of completion of the application.

Applications will be initially considered by two academic members of staff. The initial decision will be to either confirm the offer of a place without an interview, invite you for an interview, hold your application for further consideration following the official closing date for applications or reject. It is expected that the majority of applicants offered a place will be required to attend an interview beforehand, although a telephone interview will be offered for overseas candidates.

You should expect to receive this initial decision within three weeks of the date of completion of the application, although this may be slightly longer at peak periods near to the closing date.

Applications received after the closing date will be held as reserve applications, in case there are vacancies or places become available.

Please demonstrate a focused interest in one or more of the following areas: dental public health, community dentistry, preventive programmes, health promotion and/or special needs care.

Overseas students apply for scholarships from the World Health Organisation, or the British Council or the Association of Commonwealth Universities. Overseas applicants must apply in their own countries to the appropriate organisation. Home students are usually self-funded or sponsored by their employing organisation.
