Does undergraduate dentistry exist in Australia? (1 Viewer)

[Schoey93]

Are there are undergraduate university courses in Australia which qualify you as a dentist? What are they called and what universities offer them? Or is dentistry only offered as a postgraduate course?

Thank you.

There are still about half a dozen undergraduate Dental schools in Australia.
However, you'd need to lift up your "ATAR AIM" if you wish to get in.

Dentistry can be an undergraduate course. Just look up the universities and see if they have a faculty of Dentistry.

What is the ATAR cut off for undergraduate dentistry?

 

[lifequest]

I only know of La Trobe as most other universities do not publish ATAR requirements (hard to since many factors play a role i.e. UMAT).

However, at La Trobe:
2009:
1st Round cut-off 99.70

2010:
1st Round cut-off 99.40

Note also that MOST (maybe all) universities require the following pre-requisites:
35 English
AND
35 in Biology or 35 in Chemistry

If you do not have the pre-requisites, you will not be considered regardless of your ATAR performance or UMAT.

lol not all dental schools are like la trobe in that they just require a really really high TER

but yes, your ATAR aim should be at least ~97. however i know plenty of people who got into griffith uni dent with 80-95 ATAR

They're outliers. I know 2 student in our course with less than 90's. But come-on, they were rural entry.
Have to be realistic around here.

I still have a devastated friend with 99.15 (last year) and is now doing optometry. She still cries about not making it into LTU's Dentistry course a YEAR later.

i know plenty of people in dent with ~97. had your friend sat the UMAT and applied everywhere, they would probably be in dent now.
