Australian Dental Schools in Australia

Australian dental schools in Australia have traditionally been structured similarly to many other professional programs offered at Australian universities. At most Australian universities, students can enter an Australian dental school directly from high school. Students from Canada, who have already completed an undergraduate degree, can also apply for entry in to the Bachelor of Dental Science programs. These undergraduate-entry level dental programs at Australian universities are typically five years in length.

The University of Melbourne Dental School initroduced a new Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) program in 2011, for those who have completed an undergraduate degree. This graduate-entry dentistry degree replaced the University of Melbourne Dental Schools previous undergraduate five-year Bachelor of Dental Science.

James Cook University Dental School launched its dentistry program in 2009, and will welcome international students for the first time in the 2012 intake at the beautiful JCU Cairns campus. JCU accepts applicants directly from high school or from university studies.

The University of Queensland Dental School offers a five-year, undergraduate-entry Bachelor of Dental Science which allows students to enter on to the program directly from high school or after having partially or fully completed post-secondary studies.
