BSc Dental Technology

The BSc Dental Technology degree is accredited by the General Dental Council (GDC), and it trains students to create accurate dental restorations, prostheses, and appliances. The programme teaches students to build the correct skills using both traditional (analogue) methods and modern digital techniques, including CAD/CAM in Dentistry.

A large part of the course is taught and assessed in partnership with the University of Wales Dental Hospital Trust. Students will learn through lectures, seminars, experiments in special labs, team assignments, and the great use of the virtual learning environment.

Assessment includes written tests, practical assignments, written projects, oral presentations, and video logs. In the third year of this programme, students will carry out a work placement in the University of Wales Dental Hospital Trust.
