Through UCAS Clearing, you can apply for university course places which haven’t been filled. You might want to consider Clearing if you didn’t receive offers, declined the offers you did receive, or didn’t get the grades to meet your offers.
While the competition for Dentistry courses can be fierce, Clearing can open doors to institutions that you may not have considered initially. It’s important to approach Clearing with an open mind and carefully research the universities and courses that align with your career aspirations and personal preferences.
Take the time to review entry requirements, course details, and any specific criteria that institutions may have for Clearing applicants.
Clearing opens on Friday 5 July 2024.
Yes, it is possible to find a Dentistry place through Clearing. While Dentistry is a highly competitive field with limited places available, some universities may have vacancies in their Dentistry courses during the Clearing process. They can open due to various reasons, such as students declining offers or not meeting the required grades.
However, due to the competitive nature of Dentistry, it can’t be guaranteed that places will be available through UCAS Clearing. If any places are available, they will be limited and could be at any Dental School.
To increase your chances of finding a Dentistry place through Clearing, it’s important to be proactive and thorough in your approach. Research universities that offer Dentistry courses and check their Clearing vacancies regularly. Contact the universities directly to inquire about any available places and express your interest in studying Dentistry.
During these conversations, be prepared to discuss your qualifications, grades, personal statement, and any relevant experiences or achievements that demonstrate your passion for Dentistry. Admissions staff may conduct phone interviews to assess your suitability for the course, so it’s important to be well-prepared and articulate during these discussions.
While finding a Dentistry place through Clearing can be challenging, it’s not impossible.
But if you can’t get into Dentistry this year, you may want to consider taking a gap year and reapplying for Dentistry next year. Or you might want to think about applying for a different course (such as an Allied Health course) through Clearing.
