Listed in the Dental Schools Council 2027 entry requirements guide (standard or graduate entry bachelor's degree in dentistry).

The University of Lancashire School of Dentistry runs a four-year graduate-entry BDS based in community dental education centres for the final three years, and an 18-month BDS international route for overseas-qualified dentists.

Dental programs

Programs are grouped by track and never mixed: initial dental qualifications, advanced standing for applicants who already hold a dental qualification, postgraduate programs and research degrees. The exact official wording is shown.

Initial Dental Qualifications

Advanced Standing

A postgraduate certificate or master's listed here is not an initial dental degree and does not by itself satisfy initial-degree licensing.

Teaching languages

Classroom, clinical and patient-interaction languages can differ. We record a language only when an official source states it.
Teaching language not verified. An English-language website does not establish English teaching.

Domestic and international admissions

Entry routes
Graduate entry; Advanced standing

Accepting international applicants is not the same as teaching in English. Admission requirements by program are on each program page.

Directory listing

An entry in a directory such as WDDS. A listing is not accreditation or endorsement.

No directory reference recorded

DentalSchools.app does not accredit or approve schools and is not affiliated with WDDS, KIDEE, CODA, the ADA or any regulator. A directory listing is not accreditation, and a pending application is not accreditation. A missing record means we have not verified it, not that it does not exist. For University of Lancashire School of Dentistry, confirm current status with the accreditor or national authority named above. How recognition works.

Campuses and clinical training

Patient-care requirements, simulation, supervision, travel and instrument or laboratory costs are shown only when the school publishes them. Missing information stays visible as not verified.
