About Dental Surgery Bds in University of Birmingham

Through our multi-million-pound Dental School and modern learning environment, our BDS Dental Surgery programme is designed to facilitate the development of core real-world clinical skills and patient care experiences, leading you to a highly successful career in the world of dentistry.

As a Birmingham graduate, you will thrive in the workplace as you to apply your knowledge and skills to your chosen career.

The five-year BDS Dental Surgery course is followed by a one year compulsory foundation training programme in order to work within the NHS. Entry to foundation training is competitive; however our focused teaching means that almost all of our graduates gain employment on completion of the course. Most dental graduates go into general dental practice, particularly in the first few years after graduation and subsequently have followed careers in salaried dental services, industry, hospitals and universities.
