'We are so lucky at the School of Dentistry in Birmingham, we have the oldest dental student society in the world!'

Yaqoub Imran

At Birmingham, we provide you with the experience of real-life and simulated patient situations, right from the start of the course.

In our multi-million-pound Dental School and Hospital, you will work alongside practising clinicians, developing core real-world clinical skills leading you to a highly successful career in the world of dentistry.

You will be taught by a mixture of leading academics, clinicians, lecturers and professors, many of whom have published important works about their area of expertise.

As a Birmingham graduate, you will thrive in the workplace as you 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 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.

With 94.4% of graduates in paid employment and 74.1% in graduation-level employment, our experienced staff sets you up with the skills to pursue a vibrant career in Dentistry.

We’re proud to be the UK university most targeted by the country’s leading graduate employers (The Graduate Market in 2024 High Fliers report).
