Course Overview

Employment prospects for dentists are good. After graduating and successfully registering with the General Dental Council (GDC), most graduates take up a one- or two-year salaried dental foundation training post. This is mandatory if you want a career in the NHS. Dentists must undertake continuing professional education to qualify for GDC registration each year.

As a qualified dentist there are a range of opportunities open to you, including academia (teaching and research) and practising in general dental practice, hospital, community and corporate settings and the armed forces.

There are also clinical and non-clinical opportunities at non-governmental organisations worldwide and other international agencies.
