Summary

This three-year, full-time programme aims to:

  • provide a higher degree in orthodontics for dental graduates;

  • prepare students for the Membership in Orthodontics (MOrth) at one of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons.

This programme produces motivated clinician scientists capable of obtaining high clinical standards in an objective manner. The Doctorate in Dental Surgery (DDS) will enable you to develop the ability to design, undertake and apply appropriate research to relevant clinical problems.

Applications for a position on this DDS programme will be accepted from international applicants, followed by shortlisting and interviews of selected candidates.

Applications to be a Specialty Registrar in orthodontics, with a national training number, will be made through the national recruitment process, which is likely to be advertised in the British Dental Journal. Specialty Registrars with a national training number are encouraged to consider the Masters of Science by Research in Oral and Dental Science.

Please see further information on our website: https://www.bristol.ac.uk/dental/courses/postgraduate/

There are three placements for international students, based in Bristol and Bath.

The programme is broadly divided between academic modules, treatment of patients under close supervision and a research project.
