Key facts

The BUDRC is the first of its kind in the UK as a national undergraduate research conference

Initially starting as an idea in 2014, the British Undergraduate Dental Research Conference 2015 was the first of its kind and had resounding effects across the country. After the success of the first conference with over 200 attending students, we hosted The British Undergraduate Dental Research Conference in 2016, 17, 19 and 2020. The conferences got bigger and better every year. In our last conference, speakers included world-renowned dentists who presented some cutting-research, as well as inspirational young dentists in a panel discussion. Participants were spoilt for choice with 12 different workshops in multiple fields that aimed to raise their core clinical skills! Want to know more?

We are looking forward to host our 6th conference next year for all the enthusiastic undergraduates from all over the country.
