The Bachelor of Oral Health has four main components that all students must undertake:

  • Oral Health Sciences
  • Social Sciences and Health Promotion
  • Preventative and Clinical Dentistry
  • Vocational Clinical Practice

As a Bachelor of Oral Health student, you’ll develop all the scientific, theoretical and clinical skills required for practice as an oral health therapist (which includes both dental hygienist and dental therapist practice).

These skills include:

  • Communication and interpersonal skills
  • Evaluation skills
  • Analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Critical thinking skills
  • Respect for intellectual integrity and scientific truth
  • Planning and time management skills
  • Self-directed learning skills
  • Leadership and advocacy skills
