Doctoral Study Program in Dental Science by research is home to high-quality discovery research. We offer learning opportunities to the students that can enrich their research experiences. The program brings together people who work on research related to dental science. The students will work with others who share a passion for discovering new knowledge in dental science, including regenerative dentistry, clinical and evidence-based practice, dental public health and primary health care.

The curriculum is designed to accommodate user demands and advances in science and technology. The core curriculum of this program is health and medicine.

The School of Dentistry is one of the five schools of the Faculty of Medical Sciences, St. Augustine, the others being the schools of medicine, veterinary science, advanced nursing education and pharmacy. Dental Students are accorded the unique opportunity to have meaningful interaction with students from these professional schools, thereby enhancing their knowledge of the broad field of medical sciences. The school's campus is located at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, Champs Fleurs.
