POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMA IN CLINICAL DENTISTRY
Course Name: Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Dentistry
Course Code: 031AA
Year: 2008
The Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Dentistry provides the opportunity for you to expand your knowledge and skills in either implant dentistry or oral surgery.
The implant dentistry course is ideal for local general dentists who wish to remain in private practice while learning as it is only available part-time. Unfortunately, this means that international students are not eligible to apply because the international student visa requires enrolment in a full-time course.
The oral surgery course may be taken either full-time or part-time so local and international general dentists with at least two years clinical experience are eligible to apply to admission. Please refer to Admission Requirements for full details.
