Welcome to the School of Dentistry at the University of Adelaide.

The School of Dentistry at the University of Adelaide has a long and distinguished history of innovation in its teaching and research.  Its programs include the Bachelor of Dental Surgery and the Bachelor of Oral Health together with a range of postgraduate courses.  The School also offers to the dental profession an interesting and challenging program of continuing education. 

The teaching programs are highly regarded both nationally and internationally. With its intent to remain at the leading edge of best practice, the School is currently undertaking a major review of its undergraduate curricula.  It had been expected that this process would have been completed in time to implement the revised curriculum in 2009. However, the need to provide adequate time for staff and stakeholders to consider proposed changes has necessitated a delay until 2010. Nevertheless, the review has identified areas where immediate improvements can be made within the framework of the present curriculum and these will be introduced in 2009.  Details about the process, progress and outcomes of this review can be accessed on the Curriculum Development pages.
