More Information-
The foundation programme is an intensive semester running from January to July, with a study load close to 40 hours per week. It focusses on preparing students for the demands of the dentistry degree and includes an introduction to the first modules of that degree, thus assisting students with the transition to dentistry studies. It also includes intensive Spanish classes and development of study skills. In effect, successful students will be completing the first year of dentistry in 18 months, with much greater exposure to the Spanish language.
Students who successfully complete the foundation programme are guaranteed a place in first-year dentistry. Assessment will be carried out by the teachers on the programme in conjunction with GDC Education. The Foundation Programme ran for the first time in 2024 and all students who completed the course are now progressing solidly in their dentistry studies at Universidad Catolica de Valencia. The 2025 class all passed the foundation programme and we will be updating on their progress in the coming academic year.
The foundation programme is not designed for students who are currently in a gap year and would therefore have an 18 month break in their education. it is also not suitable for students who have retaken their A' levels and not reached the entry requirements for dentistry twice.
If you are in a gap year now and not resitting your A' levels, please contact us for details on other options that might be suitable for you.
Please contact us for the full guidelines but here are some basic requirements:
The 2026 Foundation Programme is already full. There is unlikely to be any possibility of getting a place unless anyone drops out.
Because successful students are guaranteed a place in first year dentistry we cannot expand the number of places on offer to accommodate all the students who are interested in this programme.
Only very recent school leavers will be considered for this programme. it is not suitable for anyone who has already been to university. It is unlikely that anyone who completed A' levels in 2025 will be considered for January 2027 admission.
There are a very limited number of places available. Please contact us urgently if you are interested in this opportunity. If you do not meet the entry requirements for this programme, we can also recommend alternative pathways but these would not be in Spain.
“ Don’t even hesitate to apply, it is such a great opportunity and it’s a lot easier than people make it out to be. ”
