Bachelor in Dentistry (BDS) - University of Dundee

Dentists care for people’s oral health by preventing disease, promoting healthy lifestyles, and when necessary treating diseases of the soft tissues of the mouth as well as the teeth and gums. As future dentists, students need a caring attitude, good scientific knowledge and understanding, technical skills, and the ability to communicate well.

The Bachelor in Dentistry (BDS) at University of Dundee offers a curriculum that will encourage students to learn in an interactive and creative way in a supportive environment. From the very beginning they learn the fundamentals of the sciences that underpin dentistry and how they apply to clinical situations. They'll be able to put your new skills into practice in a clinical environment.

The University of Dundee is 1st in the UK for Dentistry (Complete University Guide 2025).

By the end of the first semester of the Bachelor in Dentistry (BDS) students will be ready to meet their first patients, communicate professionally with them, understand their health issues, and prepare for starting simple clinical dental procedures in semester two. They will also be able to take part in research projects through summer internships and participate in the Dental Wiki project.

15 months after graduating, 100% of our graduates are in employment or further study.

Tuition fees for England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland £9,250/year

The tuition fee for year 1 is lower than in year 2, 3, 4, and 5 due to this year being a non-clinical year. Therefore, the fee for year 2 onwards will be no less than £52,645.
