There is plenty of practical work such as preparing and restoring damaged teeth. Your third year gives you the chance to undertake a research project, learn more about tissue engineering, biomaterial design, develop your clinical background and deepen your scientific knowledge. Throughout your programme you have a lot of practice in oral presentation. You present your research as a dissertation accompanied by a poster, both of which draw on your IT skills. Teaching includes a combination of lectures, small groups and laboratory sessions.
Many graduates go on to do medical and biological research.
Others have followed a variety of career options in health care such as blood perfusion or optometry. A significant proportion have entered traditional graduate career areas such as finance, accounting and IT where they employ the transferable skills gained on the programme.
