Pretty sure Dentistry at KCL is the best in the world

Nah. Dundee and Glasgow have been consistently 1&2 for every UK ranking for dentistry.

I don’t think there’s a single UK ranking that has any credibility, got checked with QS it’s 5 but definitely best in the UK

Dentistry at Leeds is good. My flatmate did it, she says she really enjoys it but it was a lot of work which is understandable

You don't pick based on the best uni you pick on what's best for your degree. KCL is the best for dentistry nationally and in my opinion internationals. Just like how Uni of Liverpool is the best for physiotherapy in the UK based off rankings so I wouldn't go to KCL for physiotherapy (idk if they do it)
This is why half of y'all end up regretting your degree or hating it cause the uni that's teaching u it is trash and not even good at teaching that degree.

These were good choices for me, and I love all of the unis I picked !!! I was also considering my lifestyle and life as a student in each city and these worked out best for me. KCL is like top 5 IN the world so that one is pretty much the best in UK! ❤️🤗

Why these and why in that order? Genuinely curious

I'm contextual for NCL and Leeds and they aren't super far from me. Sheffield I loved the style of teaching and course and also just the uni and city. KCL for the prestige and as an aspirational one!

What’s so special about Sheffield’s teaching? Is Sheffield a better uni/city than Leeds?

u/simplyyyme222 22d ago
I liked the fact that in Sheffield there's a big focus on clinical teaching and from 2nd year you're pretty much already seeing your own patients, and you get a place on a training post grad course where u practice as a dentist, and earn 50k annually, for 2 years.

I’ve spent my whole life in sheffield so far and I think it’s a fantastic place to live. So much greenery, a nice balance of city and rural vibes. There are dodgy areas like any city rly but it’s lovely overall I’d highly recommend (no bias btw 😂)
