The assessments are transparent and are published in advance of the commencement of each module. Six modules include the presentation of short case reports (1500 words and six illustrations maximum) as part of their assessment.
On satisfactory completion of all modules, you will present two case reports (of up to 5000 words) and a research or audit project or literature review. There are no examinations, other than a final viva voce.
If you decide to complete the taught component but not the case reports and research/audit project you will be awarded a Postgraduate Diploma in Advanced General Dental Practice.
