Eastman Dental Institute (Clinical Experience) MPhil/PhD

This PhD programme provides you with the opportunity to carry out doctoral research in the field of oral health, microbial diseases, or biomaterials tissue engineering.

Your laboratory or clinically based research-intensive programme will be led by international specialists who will supervise your research. You will be linked with a clinical unit relevant to your dental or oral health specialisation, and offered the chance to sustain limited clinical activity, depending on the demands of your hosting unit.
