Opportunities:
Graduates find employment in research and product development, academic institutions, or may conduct their own commercial dental laboratory.

Admission requirements:

Prospective students are encouraged to contact the Department of Dental Sciences for guidance before submitting their application for registration. Doing so will prevent unnecessary waste of time and funds.

Apart from this being a full research qualification, the university may expect students to do subject specific coursework that will underpin their research endeavour as and when such needs are identified. One such area may be research methods, techniques and statistics.
