Dentistry
What’s on offer for postgraduates?
If you are looking at postgraduate programs in dentistry you probably already know a great deal about it.
Dentistry is one of the few fields in which most postgraduate coursework students are already in the profession and are enrolled in upgrade rather than conversion programs. There is a relatively high proportion of research students in dentistry too.
Choosing a postgraduate program should not be too hard. Like undergraduate courses, most postgraduate options in dentistry are only offered at a small number of universities (maybe only one!) in each state or city, so unless you are prepared to change location or study externally, you will have only a limited selection to choose from.
This is assuming that your sights are now firmly set on the dentistry career track; but now that you have the book open, why not browse? You may be surprised at the number of other options there are for a change of direction.
The experience and rewards
Visit the University Ratings section for dentistry course ratings or to see how dentistry rates in the Fields of Study Compared table.
Despite being unable to find fault with their postgraduate programs in the past, dentistry graduates filling in the latest Course Experience Questionnaire survey give their experience the thumbs down. Excellent salaries generally make studying in this field more attractive.
