Dental Institute

The Dental Institute at King’s is one of the largest dental schools in Europe and works in partnership with the world-famous hospitals Guy’s, King’s College and St Thomas’; together creating a world-leading Academic Health Sciences Centre, King’s Health Partners.

The Institute received the joint highest percentage for world-leading research in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise. On this basis, the Dental Institute can claim to be the best in the country.

The Dental Institute is committed to increasing the diversity of its entrants. There is only one BDS dental degree course but there are a number of entry routes to accommodate applicants with different educational experiences and backgrounds. In addition to the traditional five-year programme, King’s offers a four-year Graduate/Professional Entry Programme primarily for graduates with degree-level education in biomedical sciences or a related subject. We also offer a three-year programme for medical graduates seeking a career in maxillofacial surgery or oral medicine/pathology.
