Course Overview

The course fosters intellectual and clinical development of dentists allowing them to extend and deepen their analytical and practical skills which underpin their daily practice.

You will learn with the most advanced dentistry education providers, and we ensure you receive a rounded and robust education and through delivering in-depth seminars, interactive problem-based scenarios, and simulated clinical training to reach a high level of proficiency.

The course aims to graduate confident senior practitioners able to do effective evidence-based practice within complex multidisciplinary teams. It also aims to equip practitioners with appropriate skills and knowledge of oral medicine, microbiology, immunology and infection control.

The programme starts by delivering teaching on the principles of oral medicine, oral pathology, infection control and decontamination, and medical and oral microbiology. Students will also learn about the principles of immunology and infection.

As the course continues, advanced principles of oral medicine, oral pathology, infection control and decontamination, and medical and oral microbiology are taught.

Throughout the programme students will gain competency in research methodology skills, and will submit a final dissertation at the end of the programme.
