About

This is a comprehensive way to deepen your knowledge of aesthetic and restorative dentistry. You'll evaluate studies and technological innovations, and produce a unique piece of research linked to your own practice.

Advanced knowledge and clinical skills will give you a new professional edge. Reflecting on your practice will make you a particularly insightful and perceptive specialist.

Many of our other postgraduate courses will ask for relevant work experience, and some will require you to have studied relevant subjects. Please see our courses for more details.

If you don't meet the postgraduate entry requirements, you can do a pre-Master's programme at International College Portsmouth (ICP) for many of our courses.
