Our teaching is supported by internationally recognised research.

Our oral and dental research is organised into two themes: Person Centred and Basic and Applied. Each theme has three research groups: Bioengineering and Health Technologies, Person Centred and Population Oral Health Research, and Integrated Bioscience. These groups work together to push boundaries and achieve excellence.

We offer a range of clinical and non-clinical courses, designed to help you develop your career in the way that you want.
