Answer 1

5 GCSE passes including maths, English and science

3 A Levels (inc. 2 sciences - generally Chemistry and Biology) at grades AAA-AAB

Degrees Course name UCAS code

Bachelor of Dental Surgery A200



Entrance Requirements Due to restricted resources we are unable to consider students from outside the European Union at present.

All applicants are required to sit the UK Clinical Aptitude Test, which is used in the selection process.

A-level applicants

Offers are made on the basis of three A-levels and a fourth AS – AAA at A-level + A at AS. A maximum of either one Applied A-level or one Applied AS-level will be counted.

GCE A-levels: Chemistry + one from Biology/Human Biology, Maths or Physics (Note: only one mathematics subject can count at A-level and General Studies is not acceptable).

GCE AS-level: If not offered at A-level, at least grade B in Biology/Human Biology is required.

GCSE: Mathematics and either Physics or Double Award Science if not offered to A-level or AS-level.

In considering applications GCSE performance in the best nine subjects is scored, with 4 points awarded for an A* and 3 for an A grade. Points are added or subtracted for UKCAT performance and an overall score calculated. AS performance may also be taken into account. Evidence of commitment to dentistry, motivation, communication skills and initiative will be taken into account.

Due to competition for places the number of offers made to students resitting A-levels is likely to be restricted. Applicants are expected to have only narrowly missed the grades required and demonstrated commitment to Dentistry at Queen’s, at the first attempt.

A small proportion of school leavers are interviewed.

Graduates

Applications from graduates are considered and the full academic background is taken into account.

For 2008 the minimum A-level threshold was BBB at first attempt, or BBC for those offering a First-Class Honours degree or PhD. Applicants must have an appropriate science background at GCSE and A-level and at least a 2:1 Honours degree, preferably in a related subject. Chemistry must be taken to full A-level and Biology to at least AS-Level/(or equivalent). Graduate applicants who fulfil these criteria are then shortlisted for interview and UKCAT performance is considered at this stage.

Admission Information

Prior to admission all applicants will be required to provide evidence that they are not infected with Hepatitis B. Candidates who receive offers will be required to complete a health assessment with the Occupational Health Service of the University in accordance with Department of Health guidelines for new entrants to the Health Service.

All candidates with a disability are expected to indicate this on their UCAS form and may be asked to provide additional information.

Because of the professional nature of the course, admission will be conditional upon the results of an AccessNI Disclosure check.

Candidates who receive offers will be provided with further information from the Admissions and Access Service. The course is subject to the University’s Regulations on Fitness to Practise.

The Subject

The dental course at Queen’s is seen as one of the most progressive in the UK and has always been recognised for its high teaching standards. Dental graduates from Queen’s have made a marked impact on national and international dentistry through both general dental practitioners practising in many countries and academic staff in positions worldwide.

Answer 2

You have to do maths anyway, everyone does. The most important thing are the sciences (specifically chemistry and biology), and you also have to do them! The optional ones are not really important to dentistry.

After GCSEs you probably need to do A-levels in chemistry, biology and another one, and you need good grades. Dentistry is a hard course to get into and hard at uni as well, it's also 5 years long, but it can be a good job.

Answer 3

I think so and all sciences.

Answer 4

Sciences, yes maths would help
