How to apply for membership

You can apply for membership of the College via our online application form.

When you apply, we will ask you to set out details of your qualifications or other membership requirements, and to supply electronic versions of the appropriate evidence. 

We may require evidence of your award transcript, not just your award certificate, to confirm your eligibility for the membership for which you have applied.

Qualification requirements

^‡Postgraduate Certificate, Postgraduate Diploma and Master’s-level qualifications refer to university-awarded or equivalent qualifications assessed against the Framework for Level 7 Higher Education Qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (equivalent to Level 11 in Scotland). A Postgraduate Certificate must equate at least to 60 credits in the Framework, a Postgraduate Diploma to 120 credits, and a Masters to 180 credits (or an international equivalent).

‘Relevant subject’ means either a dental subject or a subject of wider relevance to the enhancement of oral healthcare; this is interpreted at the discretion of the College Council, and the College reserves the right to determine applications on a case-by-case basis.
