Scottish universities top dental school rankings for 2027 entry
Is Scotland the place to be for dental education? The Guardian has released its University Guide 2027, placing two Scottish universities at the top of the UK dental school rankings.
The top spot was taken by the University of Dundee, which received a perfect 100 score from The Guardian. This is the third year in a row that the university has ranked first, which it said was ‘reaffirming its excellence in dentistry after being named best in the UK once again’.
In second place was the University of Glasgow, which scored particularly highly in teaching satisfaction for an overall score of 98.
Many of the top 10 universities celebrated being included on the list. Professor Koen Lamberts, president and vice-chancellor of the University of Sheffield, which ranked eighth, said: ‘Our strength lies in bringing together world-leading research, excellent teaching and a culture that encourages students to think independently and turn ideas into impact.’
The rankings:
Ranking University Score 1 University of Dundee 100 2 University of Glasgow 98.4 3 University of Plymouth 83.2 4 University of Bristol 82.2 5 Queen’s University Belfast 79.2 6 University of Liverpool 75.8 7 University of Leeds 70.9 8 University of Sheffield 67.2 9 Queen Mary University London 67.1 10 University of Birmingham 53.9 11 Newcastle University 53.8 12 University of Cardiff 53.1 13 University of Manchester 42 14 University of Lancashire 38.5 15 King’s College London 35.5 16 Teesside University 32.9
Do all dental school rankings agree?
The Complete University Guide 2027 has a very similar top five to The Guardian:
- University of Glasgow
- University of Dundee
- Queen’s University Belfast
- University of Liverpool
- University of Bristol.
However, King’s College London was the only UK institution to make the top 10 in the QS World University Rankings for dentistry, despite being placed 15th by The Guardian.
This difference is caused by the methodology used to create each ranking. The Guardian uses Graduate Outcomes data for graduates from 2023/24 15 months after graduation, measuring student satisfaction, staff-to-student ratios and entry requirements. On the other hand, the QS World University Rankings is much more research-focused, using metrics such as citations per paper and employer reputation.
