Activities
You'll take part in an activity related to Dental Surgery to give you a real taste of what it's like to be a student at Sheffield.
We run a range of activities on our applicant days and the below examples will give you an insight into what you could be doing on the day.
Taster Lecture on Professionalism
Join this session for a fun insight into how we develop you not just as a clinician, but also as a professional. We'll be taking a light-hearted look at some of the issues you might encounter, how we help you through them and what happens when Dentists get it wrong! Join the session to see some of Dentistry's bloopers as well as some of its professional super heroes.
Dedicated Questions and Answers with current students
You're encouraged to use this opportunity to speak to our range of current students who are at different stages of the course and ask them any questions you may have. They will be able to provide a valuable insight into what being a Dental Surgery student at Sheffield is really like, such as details of the dental facilities, clinical skills, teaching and assessment, placement and more.
