University of Sydney Bachelor of Dentistry Program/University of Sydney Medical Program
The Faculties of Medicine and Dentistry are pleased to offer the University of Sydney Bachelor of Dentistry program/University of Sydney Medical Program (BDent/MBBS) to fulfil the continuing need in Australia for a small number of practitioners with training in both medicine and dentistry, e.g. maxillofacial surgeons, and the continuing demand from a small number of students in Dentistry to also gain qualifications in medicine.

University of Sydney Dentistry students who wish to enter the USydMP are encouraged to complete the Bachelor of Dentistry first and then apply as set out below.

- Unless their application is supported by the Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry and they have completed their BDent studies in minimum time and without remediation or failure, applicants will be required to complete the standard admissions process.
- Up to three places (include Commonwealth Supported Place and international fee-paying place) in the USydMP are available for BDent graduands or graduates whose applications are via the Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry.
