The Diploma in Dental Hygiene and Dental Therapy is part of the School of Clinical Dentistry. This 27 month full-time course has been offered by the University of Sheffield since 1996 and enables students to gain professional accreditation as dental hygienists and dental therapists. The course has one intake per year in April. The next intake you can apply for is April 2010.

The Dental School is a busy, thriving and well-regarded institution. It is at the forefront of research, so our teaching is informed by the very latest developments.

We recognise the importance of training the dental team together and there is a strong belief in integrating the dental hygiene and therapy students with dental students. At Sheffield our graduates can launch themselves into the responsibilities of a working life with confidence and competence.

Students should acquire knowledge and understanding of the various clinical and theoretical aspects of the course. On completion of training, the Student Dental Hygienist will have demonstrated their knowledge, understanding or ability to describe all aspects of the curriculum, thereby meeting sufficient standards within the course and the final examinations to satisfy the requirements of the General Dental Council and the University of Bristol.

Unit and module descriptions are only available internally. Students are issued with handbooks at the start of the course. A Blackboard site is currently being developed for the diploma and relevant information will be stored there for students to access.
