Bachelor in Year One

The tuition fee is 33,851 USD per year.

Clinical exposure begins in the very first week through the Simulated Dental Learning Environment (SDLE), ensuring that students transition rapidly from theoretical study to hands-on practice. By the third term, you will be treating real patients in a clinical setting, grounding your scientific learning in direct, supervised care. This programme is specifically designed for aspiring dental professionals who thrive in collaborative environments, emphasizing team-based dentistry through integrated study groups.

Integrated Clinical Development

The curriculum bridges the gap between biological sciences and patient-facing skills. You will explore the scientific foundations of human structure, function, and behavior, directly applying this knowledge to the prevention of dental disease and the promotion of oral health. Beyond the clinical chair, the course prioritizes professional development, equipping you with the communication and ethical frameworks necessary to function as a competent member of a modern dental team.

• Early clinical immersion in state-of-the-art simulated facilities.
• Transition to live patient treatment within the first year of study.
• Strong emphasis on interprofessional collaboration and small-group learning.
• Comprehensive grounding in dental pathology and preventative health strategies.
