Well done, that's great news!

I know it seems early to think about specialisation but I am keen to do it. Is there some sort of limit or restriction to the amount of dentists accepted into specialties each year?
You're right...It is early to be thinking about specialisation.

It is amazing how much your areas of interest can change throughout the course.

There are a limited number of post-graduate positions available each year (and this can change from year to year).

Also, is there some sort of dental research institute which has research positions available on a temporary basis for say...over the summer at the end of this year. See I would love to do honours in my final year and entry in to that is dependent on some past research experience (of which I have none).
I don't know the answer to this question. Anyone else have any thoughts? Your best bet would probably be to ask some of the dental lecturers.

That should do for the time being :P..I'm sure I will have more questions to ask which I'm sure will be thought of by other students as well.

Look forward to hearing how you progress through the course. The undergraduate courses have changed dramatically since I went through. Be sure to tell your fellow students about dentalchat!
