MSc Dental Implantology at University of Salford

Programme overview

Part-time clinical programme in implant dentistry for dental practitioners, run jointly by the University of Salford and the ICE Postgraduate Dental Institute and Hospital. Students gain supervised hands-on learning in a purpose-built clinical facility and treat a minimum of four patients with mentor support.

Duration: Three years part-time | Intake: September 2027 | Study mode: part-time | Location: Salford, England, United Kingdom

What you will study

Year one covers Patient Assessment and Treatment Planning and Implant Surgery. Year two covers Restorative Treatment and Maintenance and Dental Implant Procedures and Complex Cases. The MSc adds a year-three dissertation (systematised literature review or research project in dental implantology). The programme follows the GDP/FGDP Training Standards in Implant Dentistry.

Career pathways

Training in implant dentistry is not part of the undergraduate curriculum, and GDC standards require formal postgraduate training for dentists providing implant treatment. Graduates can also move into research and teaching; past graduates have become course mentors and teach dental nurses at ICE.
