Overview

The Double Degree Dentistry program comprises a three-year undergraduate degree in science followed by the four-year Doctor of Dental Medicine. The Doctor of Dental Medicine curriculum emphasises practical delivery and prepares graduates for dental practice.

In order to progress to the Doctor of Dental Medicine, you need to meet all progression requirements (including satisfactorily completing a unit of study in Dentistry) during your first-degree, as specified under the Bachelor of Science/Doctor of Dental Medicine course rules.

You will then be able to begin the Doctor of Dental Medicine without being required to sit for the Graduate Australian Medical School Admissions Test (GAMSAT) or the University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT) or participate in the selection process for entry into the Doctor of Dental Medicine.
