Course summary
Bristol Dental School has been a successful training provider for Dental Hygienists and Therapists for many years, attracting significant interest from applicants wishing to train in state-of-the-art clinical facilities. To further strengthen the integration between Dentistry and Dental Hygiene and Therapy, the BSc Dental Hygiene and Therapy recently underwent a review. The newly named Bachelor in Dental Therapy (BDT) will commence in September 2025. The course content, delivery and entry requirements have not changed significantly, however, the course is now more aligned in terms of its structure with the Bachelor Dental Surgery (BDS).Based in the new Dental School in its city centre location, you will benefit from an integrated curriculum with BDS students, with the concept of team training starting from term one.You will have access to cutting-edge technology working alongside experienced dental professionals in a purpose-built facility. Our teaching delivers the latest developments in dental education and patient care.The three-year degree comprises integrated and compulsory units of academic teaching, clinical skills and practice and a dissertation.The BDT will equip you with the knowledge, skills and experience to practice safely within the permitted range of practical procedures of a Dental Therapist as specified by the General Dental Council.You will be eligible to register as a Dental Therapist and Dental Hygienist upon successful completion of the BDT.
