King's College London

Entry requirements:

Applicants must be qualified dentists registered with the UK General Dental Council wishing to pursue a career in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

The UCAT is not required for this particular programme.

Selection process:

Applicants are selected for interview based on their personal statement, experience to date, and qualifications already achieved.

Interviews are held with a standard panel of dental and/or medical staff. Interviews will typically take place between February and April in the year that you apply, and you can expect to hear from us during this time on whether or you have been shortlisted for interview. 

We operate a “fit-to-sit” policy for interviews, therefore, we are unable to take into account mitigating circumstances for the interview performance. If there are any issues within the interview which you consider affected your performance, you should ensure these are raised with the Admissions team.

Each year we are usually able to offer two places to suitably qualified applicants post-interview. 

Overseas applicants:

We are unfortunately unable to consider applicants with an Overseas fee status for this programme. UKCISA has a number of resources to advise you of which fee status category you may fall into dependent on your circumstances, so we would recommend reviewing these prior to making an application.

Deferrals:

Please note that we do not accept deferred entry applications for this programme and we are unable to defer any applicants to the following academic year.

Programme start date:

The MaxFax programme starts earlier than other degree programmes. Enrolment is normally in the middle of August.
