Entry Requirements
UK applicants
Standard requirements
A recognised undergraduate dental qualification.
Programme specific requirements
A dental qualification plus at least two years post-qualification experience. UK applicants will normally need to satisfy any additional specialist training requirements. For UK applicants FDS, MFDS or MJDF is desirable.
Since this programme requires clinical activity that falls within the scope of practice of a dentist, Home/UK applicants should ensure that they either have full active registration as a dentist with the General Dental Council or are able to obtain temporary registration. It is not possible to hold two forms of registration concurrently (for example, full registration as a Dental Care Professional and temporary registration as a Dentist).

Selection Process
Applications must be made online using King's Apply, the Admissions Portal. A non-refundable application fee of £85 applies.
The Admissions Office will review applications as applications are received to check they are complete and will be in contact if further information is needed. Completed applications however will not be considered by the Faculty until after the application deadline listed below. Applications will then be shortlisted for interview; if selected for interview, applicants should provide a portfolio of clinical dentistry to demonstrate your clinical skills.
Due to the competitive nature of this programme, applicants will be required to meet the English language requirement in order to be shortlisted for interview. Applicants can provide evidence of meeting the English language requirement after submitting the application but will need to provide this on King’s Apply by the application deadline below.
As places are limited on this programme, we will be monitoring the amount of offers being made. Applicants who meet our advertised academic entry requirements may therefore be placed on hold while we consider the number of places remaining. You will be informed if your application is being held.
