The challenge of the Bachelor in Dentistry at UCL is to acquire from the start of his or her training scientific, medical and human qualities combining them with advanced technical skills, enabling him or her to take care of patients under supervision from the start of his or her Master’s degree.
In practical terms, the training provided over the course of the Bachelor’s programme allows the acquisition of these skills by integrating:
• basic scientific training,
• medical training (from understanding cellular processes to studying physiological and psychological processes of the human body),
• training in dentistry (examining oral tissues, their physiology and pathologies, and healthcare techniques and biomaterials used),
• professional training by practising dentistry in society.
In the Bachelor’s programme, through various teaching activities (theoretical lectures and preclinical lab work) and clinical observations, the student will developp his or her future professional project, and put it into practice during the Master’s coursenn acquiring more and more autonomy.
Each course of the Bachelor’s programme forms part of the development of certain specific items in the skills base list in accordance with the subjects and activities offered. The coherence of the programme can be seen in the tables identifying the learning outcomes prioritised by each course.
On successful completion of this programme, each student is able to :

On successful completion of this programme, each student is able to :
• to develop a scientific attitude.
The student will be capable of integrating an understanding of different sciences and disciplines in order to apply them to common clinical situations.

• to make oral hygiene diagnoses.
The student will be able to make a clinical diagnosis of a patient displaying a “simple” medical condition frequently encountered in dentistry.
The student will be able to make a clinical diagnosis of a patient displaying a “simple” medical condition frequently encountered in dentistry.
• to plan oral hygiene treatment.
The student will be able to offer a treatment plan and organise a schedule for a common clinical case within each discipline, taught independently to allow optimum command. The multidisciplinary integration required for the effective practice of dentistry will be developed during the clinical work placements of the Master’s course.
