About this degree
This Paediatric Dentistry MSc gives busy dentists the ability to plan their lives around their studies. Our mix of theory, latest scientific evidence and technical skills provides exciting opportunities for dentists who may not be able to access high-quality education and training locally.
Teaching is mostly delivered online, and you will have on-demand access to recorded sessions. You won’t treat patients at the Eastman, but you will need to attend the Eastman for the mandatory lab weeks throughout the programme.
Year one gives you the fundamental knowledge required in paediatric dentistry and teaches some of the clinical techniques needed in a laboratory setting. Year two encourages more advanced and complex treatment planning and looks at other aspects of good patient care, such as clinical governance. Year three consolidates your learning and gives you the theoretical experience to understand, critically appraise and potentially carry out research.
Our programme gives you the chance to learn from UCL's globally renowned experts and become more specialised or established in the field of paediatrics.
Who this course is for
The programme is designed for busy dentists working in practice, community services or any other environment who wish to provide a higher standard of care for children. It is particular beneficial for those in parts of the world where access to high-quality education and training in paediatric dentistry may be limited. To benefit from the course, you need to be treating children in your clinic for approximately two days per week, or the part-time equivalent.
