With the largest range of postgradu- ate dentistry programmes in Europe, students benefit from a breadth of expertise, skills and personalities of staff and peers from all over the world. In addition to on-campus study, King’s delivers dental education and training to students from over 50 countries via six distance learn- ing master’s programmes. Designed to meet the professional develop- ment needs of practitioners, all in- clude face-to-face training blocks for hands-on experience in a traditional teaching environment and interac- tion with peers and expert teachers. One of these, the popular Fixed & Re- movable Prosthodontics MClinDent programme, ran a pilot face-to-face training block for the first time in Dubai in February 2017 at the state- of-the-art 3M Innovation Center, led by Professor Brian Millar. Students from around the region took the opportunity to learn and practice contemporary clinical techniques at the world-class facility and will be returning for their second year in February 2018. Building on the success of this pilot, applications are now being accepted for a new cohort for 2018 entry who will also be able to choose Dubai as their preferred loca- tion for face-to-face training. Dr Fariha Hussain explained ‘In re- sponse to the international mix of our students and growing demand, we identified Dubai as an important centre to hold our training, giving students more convenience and flexibility.’ Another blended learning pro- gramme, the consistently popular Aesthetic Dentistry MSc, is continu- ing to run its face-to-face training in London.
