The Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Sydney is the country’s oldest and longest running Dental program. University of Sydney Dental School has been training dental practitioners for more than 100 years, and they are now proud to announce the recent introduction to a 4 year Graduate Entry Dental program through their Dental School.

The Faculty of Dentistry at University of Sydney is one of the largest of the five Dental Schools in Australia and is housed within the Sydney Dental Hospital (SDH), Surry Hills and the Westmead Centre of Oral Health (WCOH), Westmead Hospital

Graduates of The University of Sydney’s DMD program will be fully qualified to practice dentistry upon completion of the degree, as well as being able to sit for the Dental Examining Board of Canada (DEB) examination to practice as a dentist (in Canada).

Entry Requirements

Completed undergraduate degree from any area with an equivalent GPA of 2.7 out of 4 from a Canadian or American university.  All years weighted equally.

Sydney Medical School and the Faculty of Dentistry have decided to trial including the results from coursework Master’s degrees in the calculation of the GPA. The trial will be limited to international applicants who are applying in 2013 for enrolment in the SMP and DMD in 2014. During the trial, international applicants who hold a Master’s degree by coursework as well as a Bachelor’s degree will be permitted to either:

– nominate their Bachelor’s degree for use in the GPA calculation, or
– nominate that both their Master’s and their Bachelor’s degree be used in the GPA calculation

All DMD applicants are required to have completed a human biological science degree or, as a minimum, completed one semester of a Human Biology subject equivalent to the University of Sydney unit of study “Human Biology” (BIOL1003).

ADMISSIONS TEST RESULTS (GAMSAT, MCAT, DAT, CDAT)

Important – applicants must have admissions test results prior to submitting application. For 2017 entry, CDAT results must be obtained between 1 February 2014 and 20 February 2016 (US DAT between 1 February 2014 and 20 May 2016).

Admissions test results must be submitted with your application.

Applicants must have achieved a minimum score of 50 in each section of the GAMSAT, or at least 8 in each section of the MCAT, to be considered. International DMD applicants using the DAT or CDAT must achieve a minimum score of 15 in each section.

INTERVIEW

Applicants who meet GPA and Admissions Test requirements will be invited to interview.  All international applicants selected for interview, including those already in Sydney, will be interviewed via an online link using Skype.

The MMI process is designed to assess suitability based on qualities important for success in the MD and DMD, including: – good communication skills; – a sense of caring, empathy and sensitivity; – an ability to make effective decisions; – an ability to contribute as a member of a team; – an appreciation of the place of medicine in the wider context of healing; and – a sense of vocation, motivation and commitment within the context of medicine. The MMI process aims to broadly sample the candidate’s competencies in order to gain an accurate picture of the candidate’s strengths and weaknesses. This is achieved by having several brief interviews with different interviewers.

TIMELINE

Mid July – interview invitations sent via email, required to select time and date for interview

August 1-10 – international interviews via Skype

Late August onward – offers are released.

Professional Recognition

The University of Sydney’s Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) program is fully accredited by the Australian Dental Council.

Graduates from The University of Sydney’s Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) program will be fully qualified to practice dentistry upon completion of the degree, as well as being eligible to sit for the Dental Examining Board of Canada (DEB) examination to practice as a Dentist (in Canada).

In 2010, the Australian Dental Council and the Commission on Dental accreditation of Canada signed a reciprocal agreement which allows accredited graduates of either body to practice Dentistry in Australia or Canada. This means Canadian students returning home with dentistry degrees from accredited Australian Dental Schools can follow the same licensing process as Canadian domestic graduates. Canadian license will be fully granted upon successful completion of the National Exam administered through the Canadian National Dental Examining Board (NDEB)

All Australian Dental Schools offered through KOM Consultants are fully accredited back in Canada.
