Course Summary

The only joint Master and Bachelor dentistry degree in the UK, our MChD/BChD course integrates clinical dentistry, science and personal development. You’ll graduate from Leeds as a highly qualified and well-equipped professional, trained to think critically and work independently. You gain early clinical exposure in year 1 and experience in a range of settings throughout the course – at the dental hospital, in the community, at outreach clinics and through hospital placements. You can also undertake a four-week local or international placement at the end of your fourth year. Our clinical and teaching facilities are excellent. You will have access to 3D virtual reality dental training simulators to practise clinical skills and build their confidence. The MChD/BChD shows you have Masters level skills and attributes and can expand your employment and further study options.

Course Details – Assessment Method

We have an international reputation for the quality of our comprehensive assessment processes. They incorporate: essays, presentations, multiple choice questions, short answer questions, extended critical research reports, clinical and practical tests and objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs). Verbal examinations are part of some assessments, as it’s essential you can demonstrate that you are able to communicate effectively too. By the end of the course, you’ll need to demonstrate competence to practise dentistry independently at the level of a safe beginner.
