Hygiene/Therapy and BDS students

The Dental School is a busy, thriving and well-regarded institution. It is at the forefront of research, so our teaching is informed by the very latest developments.

We recognise the importance of training the dental team together and there is a strong belief in integrating the dental hygiene and therapy students with dental students. At Sheffield our graduates can launch themselves into the responsibilities of a working life with confidence and competence.

There are no tuition fees for the programme and students are eligible to apply for a income assessed NHS bursary.
