Makerere University has been forced to cancel the process of admitting first-year students on Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) for the academic year 2020/2021, Campus Bee has learned. According to a letter issued by the university Academic Registrar Alfred Masikye Namoah, the university has been advised by the Joint East African Medical and Dental Council to halt the process.
According to the letter, the university is currently working hard to improve its capabilities ahead of the Council’s inspection slated for July this year. Masikye has advised private students who had applied for the mentioned course to choose other courses.
Government sponsored students who were already admitted for the mentioned course will be shifted to other courses they applied for, only if they meet the cut-off points of Makerere.
“In the meantime, we recall the advert for the Bachelor of Dental Surgery and advise all applicants for Private Sponsorship for 2020/2021 Academic year to adjust/amend their applications with other choices available.” The letter reads in part.
“Accordingly, candidates admitted to the Bachelor of Dental Surgery programme on government sponsorship for 2020/2021 academic year will be shifted to other choices that they applied for on their application forms and where they meet the cut-off points for Makerere University.” The letter reads further.
