University of Plymouth – A well rounded approach to dentistry

Dentistry is a unique multi-skilled profession, with business acumen and sound social skills required on top of clinical care. The University of Plymouth has designed a curriculum with these aspects in mind and, since its first graduates in 2011, over 90% of students have gone straight into employment each year. It was top in the 2018 UK National Student Survey, with 100% of students satisfied with its teaching. Through the work of the Peninsula Dental Social Enterprise, students benefit from early clinical exposure in areas of high deprivation. In doing so, students acquire a better understanding of who they will encounter when qualified. (14)
