Hey ppl,
Just wondering if it’s possible to undertake an arts degree and transfer to dentistry of veterinary science.
I haven’t done Methods but I’m aware there is a bridging course which can allow me to do a bachelor of science.
So what would be the better option?
Take the arts degree and transfer to dentistry or vet science or do the bachelor of science and transfer?
Will undertaking the science degree give me better chances?

Thanks 😊

Just a little note on language used. There is no such thing as "transferring" to a post-grad course such as dentistry. You complete your undergraduate degree then apply for post-grad. Or you apply directly for a graduate degree package where it includes both and undergrad and post-grad degreee.

My understanding for dent at Melbourne any undergraduate degree is fine. However, you need to complete 3 prerequisite subjects in physiology, anatomy and biochemistry which would be much easier to find a sequence and complete within a science degree rather than an arts degree. Also, you would need to undertake the GAMSAT.

Gotcha, so you would ultimately say, it’s better to the bachelor of science even though I’ll need to do the bridging course for methods as I am not doing Methods 3/4?

Not exactly (people have done Arts before and then done dent). However, Science would definitely be a more straightforward pathway imo even with the bridging course.

Thanks for the help!
