CSU's Dental Science application process has changed

The application process for entry to the Bachelor of Dental Science at Charles Sturt University (CSU) has been reviewed. For 2017, applicants will need to complete the Undergraduate Medicine and Health Sciences Admission Test (UMAT) along with submitting an application for entry to the course via the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC).

We feel the UMAT will allow applicants to demonstrate their aptitude in areas valued by the dentistry program as well as giving students a clearer understanding of how their application will be assessed. UMAT results will be used to select applicants to interview, with offers made based on a combination of UMAT and interview scores.

Interested students in the Bachelor of Dental Science at CSU, they should visit the UMAT website and ensure they register by 3 June 2016.

More information about CSU's Bachelor of Dental Science is available by downloading a course flyer or contacting CSU on 1800 334 733.
