All applications must meet our minimum academic requirements as listed. 

If a candidate applies with a GCSE profile which does not meet our requirements along with their predicted A levels, their application will be rejected. However, if a candidate were to apply once their A levels have been achieved (take a year out between School and University and apply during a gap year) then we would not look at their GCSE profile but only their A level attainment, so provided they have achieved the A level grades and subjects we are asking for then this would be acceptable. We would not want a candidate to waste a UCAS space, but we also would not want a candidate to discount Birmingham on the strength of a GCSE grade without knowing the options which are still available to them.

We encourage all applicants to gain a minimum of 3 days work experience in an NHS or NHS and private mixed practice setting. Work experience can be difficult to get in practices, but is essential to gain insight into the career of being a Dentist. Often practices cite issues such as insurance or confidentiality as issues, however the can help practices realise their duty to help prospective professionals.

Purely private or other hospital based work experience is not a substitution for NHS or mixed practice work experience. If you do not have the required work experience you may still apply but your application is less likely to be shortlisted for interview than if 3 or more days have been completed. The interview may also have a work experience element incorporated to not completing work experience could also adversely affect interview performance.
