What you'll study
You'll apply your learning in hands-on clinical training with children and adolescents and undertake a research project with supervision from our expert clinicians and academics. You'll hone in on key techniques and practises, and apply learned knowledge to treat a variety of behavioural and medical problems, from dental anomalies to dental traumas.
You'll have the benefit of working in a multidisciplinary clinic that works in an area of high population, meaning you'll have the chance to deal with a range of cases, including instances of severe disease and hypodontia. You will have orthodontic and restorative input in such cases. You will receive professional doctorate-level research training, completing reports, evaluations and your final dissertation. In addition, you will have the opportunity to interact with external specialists, through an extensive seminar series held within the Institute of Dentistry and the Blizard Institute. The DClinDent Degree meets level 8 of the Framework for Higher Education Qualifications (FHEQ).
