Teaching methods - what to expect
You will be taught mostly online through King’s E-learning and Teaching Service (KEATS) which provides information, interactive questions, assignments, use of bibliographic databases and reading material. You will have access to the extensive King's Library Facilities. Our students participate in online tutorials and discussion groups, interacting with expert tutors and their fellow students. Face-to-face lectures and hands-on training take place in blocks in the first two years. Students are required to undertake and build a reflective log of clinical work in their own general practice.
Students are required to have access to adequate clinical facilities and to patients requiring treatment relevant to the subject area.
The face-to-face component normally takes place over seven consecutive days in Year 1, and seven consecutive days in Year 2 at King’s College London's Waterloo Campus.
The following table will give you an idea of what a typical year might look like as you progress through your studies. Typically, one credit equates to 10 hours of work.

Notes to applicants
- Students should note that the course does not prepare candidates for the RCS MEndo examinations or represent a pathway to registration with the GDC (UK) as an Endodontic specialist.
- The provision of any clinical opinions, treatment planning, treatment plans and/or any advice in relation to care of individual patients will not be provided by the teachers and staff of the course. Patient treatment and care is the sole responsibility of the treating clinician. Advice regarding the suitability of a clinical case for submission for the clinical module can be given at the tutor’s discretion.
Assessment
- Assignments
- Exams
- Written Reports
- Clinical Portfolios
Typically, each module will be assessed through exams and/or assignments, with the exception of the Operative Procedures module and the Endodontic Retreatment/Surgery & Restoration of Endodontically Treated Teeth module which will be assessed through clinical portfolios, and your final project, which will normally be assessed by a 10,000-word written report. You can take your exams in London or, for overseas students, at centres in your country of residence.
