"RCSI’s Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) was launched in September 2025. This five year full-time programme offers integrated clinical skills training from the start of the course and is Ireland’s first community-based undergraduate dentistry programme. This approach reflects a major contemporary international trend in dentistry and other healthcare professions with clinical training shifting from traditional hospitals to community settings."​
