Course essentials
The integrated nature of our course means that basic science teaching will relate to clinical practice and clinical teaching will be underpinned by scientific understanding. Our course emphasises whole patient care, which requires consideration of the patients’ total dental and medical needs, rather than just the provision of individual items of treatment. Our curriculum enables you to assist in the sustainable oral health care of patients from year one and assume an appropriate level of responsibility for patient care at an early stage.
