Foundation Programme for Dentistry

Foundation Programme for Dentistry at Universidad Catolica de Valencia

The foundation programme is an intensive semester running from January to July, with a study load close to 40 hours per week. It focusses on preparing students for the demands of the dentistry degree and includes an introduction to the first modules of that degree, thus assisting students with the transition to dentistry studies. It also includes intensive Spanish classes and development of study skills. In effect, successful students will be completing the first year of dentistry in 18 months, with much greater exposure to the Spanish language.

Students who successfully complete the foundation programme are guaranteed a place in first-year dentistry. Assessment will be carried out by the teachers on the programme in conjunction with GDC Education. The Foundation Programme ran for the first time in 2024 and all students who completed the course are now about to begin their dentistry studies at Universidad Catolica de Valencia.

Application Process

Please contact us for the full guidelines but here are some basic requirements:

• Entry requirements are BBB to CCC at A' level. We cannot accept students at below this level. We cannot accept BTECs. If you have Irish Leaving Cert, Scottish Highers, International Baccalaureate or other diplomas, please contact us for entry requirements.
• There is no application fee. This will be rolled into the tuition fee for the first year.
• We will need proof of A' levels, GCSEs, passport and personal statement together with the application form.
• As the programme will start on 8th January 2025 and UK nationals will need to get a visa, we intend to fill all places within September 2024.

There are a very limited number of places available. Please contact us urgently if you are interested in this opportunity. If you do not meet the entry requirements for this programme, we can also recommend alternative pathways but these would not be in Spain.
