The Master of Dental Technology (MDentTech) programme usually requires two years' full-time study (or the equivalent in part-time study). It consists of three 500-level papers plus a thesis.

If you have already completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Dental Technology (PGDipDentTech), then you complete the MDentTech in one year - studying by thesis only.
