Congratulations on completing your dental studies! You have put great effort into achieving your qualification and are about to take the first steps into your bright new future, post-study. You can leave exams, assignments, late-night studying, and instant noodles behind you.

Studying to become a dental practitioner is challenging in its own right, but for international students there can be added stressors.
