This five-year program is structured to develop essential skills for a career in dentistry. The Institute of Dentistry at Queen Mary University of London offers a cutting-edge curriculum: students learn about oral healthcare, covering disease prevention and treatment, oral cancer detection, trauma management, orthodontics, and surgical procedures. Situated in east London, the institute provides exposure to diverse patient populations and complex cases, including rare oral cancers. The program emphasizes a comprehensive approach, integrating human sciences like sociology and psychology alongside core dental studies to explore patient perspectives on oral health and the dental field.
Many graduates begin as Dental Foundation Trainees before transitioning to NHS roles or private practice. Career opportunities span general dentistry in community settings, military service, or international work. Some graduates pursue advanced specialization through postgraduate studies, with options such as oral surgery, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, or prosthodontics. Other paths include periodontology, restorative dentistry, academic research, or oral pathology—focusing on diagnosing and managing oral diseases.
