Dental Council

What is DSC?

The Dental Student Council is a student-led body that has been established in order to represent and support students across all aspects pertaining to their training at the KCL Dental Institute; encompassing academic, clinical, environmental, and student welfare issues. We work with students and student representatives and liaise with senior management to provide solutions to any issues you may come across during your time at KCL.
