Dentistry programmes and qualifications

In the table below are details of qualifications leading to registration with the GDC as a dentist, and the schools that offer these qualifications.

Registering with the GDC

If you wish to register with us, please check your qualification is listed below. If this is the case, you can then apply for registration. If you hold an older qualification, not listed below, please contact the Customer Advice and Information Team.
 
If you have qualified outside the UK, please check your route to registration.

Inspection reports

Underneath the details for each school are links to the most recent GDC inspection reports for each programme. Please note that the first report for a programme will not be published until the year the first cohort graduates, or later if a decision on ongoing sufficiency for registration cannot be made at that point. At the end of each report are observations received from the school on the contents of the report and any requirements and recommendations made by the GDC. Find out more about the GDC inspection process.
