The University of Aberdeen School of Dentistry provides dental education at Forresterhill Health Campus, the largest health campus in Scotland, shared with NHS Grampian and Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. The school offers a unique and personalised learning experience in a smaller, close-knit academic environment. Aberdeen's BDS programme is known for its strong community and personal relationships between students and staff. The school's location in Scotland's third largest city provides access to diverse patient populations while maintaining the benefits of a smaller, more intimate dental school. Research at Aberdeen focuses on dental biomaterials, oral biology, and clinical dentistry, with growing interdisciplinary links to Aberdeen's strong health sciences research base.
Dental education at Aberdeen began in 1920 as part of the Faculty of Medicine. The current school has been a centre of dental training for the North of Scotland for over a century.
GDC accreditation since 1920. Recognised by the Scottish Government dental framework.
