MSc Clinical Implantology | 2 years, part-time
The world of dentistry continues to change. Patients have increasing expectations and there is more that Dentists can do to meet their wishes and needs.
The future is bright for the dental practitioner with enhanced skills working either within the National Health Service or privately. Dentistry is moving towards the establishment of local clinical networks where the dentist possessing additional skills can look forward to a career with greater professional rewards. With the ever-increasing emphasis on the delivery of high quality in primary care, completing one of our postgraduate MSc degrees will allow you to play a strong role in provision of dental treatment in the future. UCLan’s Dental Implantology programme provides the busy General Dental Practitioner with a part-time educational route to acquire the skills and knowledge required to undertake more complex and interesting cases in practice. This programme focuses on contemporary practice, evidence-based principles and systemsto ensure an optimal outcome for both the patient and practitioner.
