University of Manchester Dentistry

The Division of Dentistry's mission is to be a community focused on world-class developments in oral healthcare, research and education. The undergraduate programme is recognised for its innovation, and the Division was the first in the UK to introduce outreach clinical teaching, where students treat patients in the community. The strength of the teaching was also recognised by the latest governme

nt review, when the Division was awarded maximum points with special commendation for the quality of its student support and guidance, IT infrastructure and the use of problem-based learning. With world-leading researchers in basic dental science and health-services research, there are plenty of opportunities for research at MPhil and PhD levels. In addition, there are flourishing postgraduate clinical training programmes co-ordinated by leading dental specialists and researchers. The Division is somewhat unusual for a UK dental school in that it is situated on a bustling university campus. It is also close to Manchester's vibrant and cosmopolitan city centre.
