Juliette Kendall, MSc, BSc

I am the Academic Lead for Admissions for the Division of Dentistry, responsible for coordinating open days, recruitment and interviews for approximately 1100 applicants to our BDS and BSc undergraduate programmes each year.

As a teaching & scholarship Senior Lecturer, I am Unit Lead for Research Methods, which is delivered to all postgraduate students in the Division of Dentistry.  I have Faculty and Division responsibilities chairing Fitness to Practice and Academic Malpractice committees.

My current research interest is focused on investigating uses for AI in HE teaching and Admissions.  Prior to this, I was part of a qualitative research study investigating the transition into the clinical environment for undergraduate Dentistry students.

Prior to moving into a teaching-focussed role, I had a number of posts undertaking evaluation research. The substantive part of my research career focused on projects funded by the Department of Health (DoH) evaluating innovative health care provision.  

As Academic Lead for Admissions (Dentistry) I am responsible for coordinating open days and other recruitment activities for the Division.  I review and select applicants for our BDS and BSc UG programmes, from over 1100+ applications each year.  I lead our mini-multiple interviews for approx. 375 BDS applicants and panel interviews for approx. 60 BSc applicants.  I co-ordinate and deliver widening participation events for potential Dentistry applicants.

I am the Lead for the Research Methods unit, which provides an introduction to research methods for students studying on a variety of Masters programmes in, or affiliated with, the Division of Dentistry.  The unit includes practical and theoretical components relating to study design, epidemiology and evidence based practice.

I have supplementary roles within both the Faculty and the Division, related to fitness to practice and academic malpractice.
