Postgraduate Courses at the School of Clinical Dentistry
Our postgraduate courses help you develop the clinical, scientific and patient skills you need to stand out as a rounded professional. You'll learn from internationally respected experts and develop your professional skills in a real working environment. We offer Masters courses in a wide range of subjects, and now with the option of studying for the Masters in Dental Public Health by distance learning.
World class and down-to-earth
We're one of the UK's top dental schools, with a formidable reputation for teaching and research. We're consistently ranked among the top five dental schools in the country by both the Independent and Complete 2012 university guides. That means you learn from leading experts and have cutting-edge dental technologies at your disposal.
But we get to know our students, too. This is a friendly learning community so you'll never feel lost in the crowd. Your tutors will provide regular feedback on all your work and they'll motivate you to be the best you can be. Throughout, you'll receive one-to-one support from your personal tutor, and we have a staff-student forum where you can tell us what you think of your course.
It could explain why our students are so happy. In the 2011 National Student Survey, 95 per cent of our students said they were 'satisfied' or 'very satisfied' with their course.
