James Cook University Dental Student Association
The JCU Dental School was established at the end of 2010. Situated on the Cairns campus it is one of only three Australian universities located outside an Australian capital city, and is the only one outside the metropolitan areas of south-east Queensland. JCU Dental School’s establishment, funded by a grant of $52.5m from the federal government, includes a new purpose-built building set up on the Smithfield Campus. Its state-of-the art facilities include an 80-seat dental simulation laboratory, prosthodontics and science laboratories, dental clinic and student home group rooms. Every OzTREKK student who begins his/her studies in the Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) program raves about the incredible facilities!
If you’re interested in studying dentistry in Australia, and are especially interested in caring for people who live in rural, remote, and tropical places, consider JCU Dental School. Not only do they have an amazing program, but they also have a wonderful and supportive student organisation, the James Cook University Dental Student Association.
