MSc · One Year · Birmingham
Become a UK-registered dentist.
A one-year MSc built around the ORE — the proven pathway from an overseas BDS to GDC registration and practising dentistry in the UK. Taught in Birmingham, validated by Ulster University.
Why the AGDP
A proven path to practising dentistry in the UK.
Despite the UK’s evolving immigration landscape, our well-established pathway continues to guide overseas dentists toward GDC registration — and a Master’s qualification along the way.
Built around the ORE
One focused year prepares you for the ORE (or LDS) — the GDC licensing exams that stand between you and UK registration.
Work while you study
You have the opportunity to work in health and social-care related fields during the course — real UK experience while it counts.
Support into GDC registration
We provide extensive assistance to ensure your smooth registration with the General Dental Council once you’ve cleared your exams.
The only private training college in the UK
A unique opportunity to gain hands-on practical experience that sets you apart as a well-rounded dental professional.
A distinguished international faculty
Exclusive access to a faculty of international dental experts, offering advanced instruction and development.
Beyond the basics
The curriculum covers specialised areas like Implantology and Digital Dentistry, so you can confidently handle complex general dental cases.
A life-changing career opportunity.
On completion, you have the opportunity to earn between £34,000 and £96,000 within 3–5 years (according to UK GOV).
