Dentistry through clearing in the UK in 2024
The clearing system in the UK is a way for students who have not received any offers to gain a place at university to study a course including Dentistry. The clearing system shows students which university or college has spare places available including dentistry clearing places.
These have become available either by other students not meeting the university’s desired grades or from students rejecting the university. The clearing system shows all universities that have spaces available per subject. This can include other healthcare professional degrees or even other dental degrees such as dental materials.
⭐
Who can use the dentistry clearing process?
The following groups of individuals can apply to university through the clearing process:
You didn’t receive any offers (or none you wanted to accept)
You didn’t meet the conditions of your offers
You’re applying after 30 June
You've paid the multiple-choice application fee of £26.50
You’ve declined your firm place using the ‘decline my place’ button in your application
📚
Why go through clearing to apply for dentistry?
Going through clearing will allow you to study Dentistry without taking a gap year or even allow you to start another degree that year which you may not have considered before.

Between July and October. Exact dates are subject to change on a yearly basis.
📜
What happens when you apply to dentistry through clearing?
There may still be several candidates applying for the same role. The university may invite you for a dental interview or assess your UCAS application prior to accepting.
🏫
What happens if you realise Dentistry is not for you?
Alternatively, if you realise that this dental course is not for you, you can explore other options through clearing. On the other hand, you can contact the dental university that has given you a place to see if they have any other options for you.
⭐
How can I prepare for the dentistry clearing process?
Preparation is key! The dentistry clearing list appears on results day so be prepared for this day. Research other degrees you may not have considered before and create a list of the degrees you would like to apply for.
Although results day itself can be extremely stressful you will be required to make a rapid decision on the day as places are given on a first come first serve basis!
😊
Tips for applying to dentistry in clearing 2024
First, research and create a list of degrees other than Dentistry you would like to study. Rank these degrees according to your preference.
Some dental universities show vacancies on UCAS prior to results day. Check these several times before and after results day as this is updated right up until mid-September.
If you have not received an offer from any dental university before results day ring up each university to discuss your status and what grades they are likely to accept.
On results day, have your clearing number, UCAS Personal ID number, GCSE results, A-Level results, and your personal statement with you. Contact each dental university individually and discuss why you would be a suitable candidate at that dentistry university.
Complete all necessary steps including adding your clearing choice in Track.

You can see your matches by clicking on the button ‘ see matches’ on your application.
It is rare to find that you are matched to a Dentistry BDS course as this is highly competitive and places go fast, so follow the steps mentioned above to heighten your chances.
🩺
What happens if you cannot get a dental place through clearing?
Do not worry! If you are unable to gain a place during clearing, taking a gap year and reapplying to Dentistry or other degrees is a great option.
Enjoy your gap year, gain experience, better your UCAS application, and apply with a stronger application.
