At the end of this programme, students will have acquired :
1. clinical knowledge and skills enabling them to practice dentistry and to gain entry to the Advanced Masters in Dentistry.

2. the ability to adopt a critical attitude in relation to clinical cases they deal with as well as to materials and techniques currently available.

3. the ability to establish a relationship of confidence with the patient : they must be able to analyse a new clinical case and explain very clearly to the patient the proposed course of treatment as well as possible alternatives.

The Master in Dentistry, mainly centred on clinical practice, comprises core subjects of 90 credits and a professional focus of 30 credits.
The core subjects comprise a dissertation, clinical science and a language course.
The professional focus is largely made up of training activities on buccal and oro-facial pathologies and treatments and general medical science.
Students must take the whole programme. They only have a choice between language courses and courses in religious sciences.

Advanced Masters :

- Advanced Master in General Dentistry
- Advanced Master in Orthodontics
- Advanced Master in Paradontology

Doctoral programmes :

- Doctorate in dentistry
- Doctorate in medical sciences
- Doctorate in biomedical sciences

Certificates based on the current certificates in higher studies will be awarded for disciplines not recognized by the national insurance authority (Institut national d’assurance maladie-invalidité –INAMI): Restorative Dentistry, Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics.

The excellence of the training in dentistry at UCL is mainly due to the clinical supervision and the quality of the work placements.

Clinical teaching is an important part of the programme, accounting for 63 of the total 120 credits. As students gradually acquire essential theoretical and preclinical skills, the teaching becomes concentrated on these clinics. At first, students on work placement are very closely supervised ; gradually, they are trained and encouraged to develop autonomy in their work so that they can work completely independently once they have gained their degree. It should be emphasized that at the end of the Master programme, assessment only relates to the clinical placements and the dissertation. The dissertation enables students to gain appreciation and a critical attitude which go together with high quality technical skills.

To help achieve these objectives, some teachers (Bac 2 & Bac 3) have created a teaching strategy which involves students in their own learning and enables them, throughout their training, to develop a critical attitude towards their future profession. There are therefore various different learning situations designed to attain the same objectives.

It is also important to note that an interdisciplinary course is organized as part of the Master programme : the implantology course includes subjects more commonly taught in other disciplines (stomatology, periodontics and prosthetics). This course brings together clinical concepts relating to treatments which involve implants and subsequent prosthetic reconstruction.

The assessment of the theoretical part of the course is done conventionally.
However, assessment of the work placements is continuous. Students must demonstrate that they have acquired essential clinical skills and can act independently when faced with different clinical cases. Clinical assessments are an important part of the work over the whole period, together with the presentation and practical work on a clinical case under the supervision of a Head of Department in the relevant area. This assessment also takes into account students’ progress throughout the work placement.

Student exchanges are organized in the second year of the Master with different European universities (Erasmus programme : Lisbon, Bordeaux, Madrid etc) and Canadian universities (e.g. Mercator programme: Montreal).
