CSEC: The minimum CSEC admission requirement for Dentistry is the possession of passes in the Physics, English, Maths, Chemistry and Biology at the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate level.
CAPE: Applicants must also have three passes in Biology and Chemistry and one other subject at the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examinations (CAPE) OR the PreScience Agriculture Programme offered at the UWI School of Continuing Studies OR other equivalent certification in these subjects which is recognized by the University for admission purposes.
Applicants who have first degrees will be assessed based on Grade Point Average and the components of the degree programme.
