Graduate Certificate in Dentistry

The Graduate Certificate in Dentistry will not be open for applications for 2010.

This program is currently under review and is about to undergo a major restructure. The School of Dentistry wishes to advise that there will not be any intake into the Grad Cert Dent, nor into the Grad Dip Clin Dent, in 2010. This has passed through Faculty but has not yet been approved at University level. As various formal University approvals occur the webpage will be updated.

From 2011 the School of Dentistry plans to offer a new articulated suite of postgraduate coursework programs. There will be pathways (study plans) in general dentistry, in dental therapy, in dental hygiene, for conversion from dental hygiene to therapy and for general dentists who trained overseas.

• There may also be a 6 unit Professional Certificate on offer.

It is planned that the programs will be available for part-time or full-time enrolment, will utilise flexible and online delivery and will link with continuing professional development activities. Local applications for 2011 will be made through SATAC using the new online GradStart system. International applications will be through the International Office.

Please note that the M Clin Dent will not be a specialist qualification – it is intended as an advanced program in general dentistry for dentists, hygienists and therapists.

Over the next 18 months the School of Dentistry will be working through formal University approval processes as well as designing courses and preparing teaching materials.
