About us

Welcome to our school

Our three core aims: outstanding clinical education; strong social engagement; and world class research feature strongly in your learning experience when you come to study dentistry with us. 

A key strength is our close relationship with NHS partners, with early clinical contact for all our students. We offer students ultramodern facilities and are committed to producing dental practitioners with clinical skills of the highest order and a strong sense of social awareness. Our state-of-the-art Dental Education Facilities provide a substantial service to over 10,000 NHS patients per year.

We are looking for highly motivated and talented students to join us and become the next generation of dentists.
