The British Dental Students’ Association (BDSA) is a student body run by an annually elected Executive Committee and representatives from each UK dental school.

The association was founded in 1942 and today represents over 5,000 dental students in the UK. 

The BDA is pleased to work with the BDSA to help it represent students effectively.

The BDSA aims to do the following:

• Promote the educational and social interests of the dental students of the UK
• Represent dental students on a national and international level
• Promote integration between all dental students
• Campaign amongst the profession and beyond to champion the views of dental students

• Organise two annual national events: sports day and conference.

We work closely with the BDA Student Committee to make a difference in determining policies that will affect you.
