International Medical College – Dresden University of Technology

M.Sc. Implantology and Dental Surgery (in German and English language)

This postgraduate Master's programme qualifies dentists as highly specialised experts in implantology and dental surgery. It combines the latest scientific findings with intensive practical training – from exercises on models and cadavers to patient treatment under supervision. The aim is to gain confidence in dealing with complex implantology and oral surgery cases as well as in complication management. The 90-ECTS programme expands the curriculum with in-depth scientific training (‘Scientific Working and Empirical Research’).

The International Medical College® (IMC) at the Dresden University of Technology performs postgraduate international Master's courses using a blended learning concept; theoretical contents (basic course and specialization course) are conveyed through our e-learning platform e-med via the internet, together with practical clinical courses, advanced training, online lectures, and online seminars in our own virtual conference system.

Each basic- and specialization module concludes with an exam. In addition, the students have to write a master's thesis and to pass the final oral exam.

During writing the master's thesis you will be supported by a learning-Management-Platform with a Master thesis Tutoring-System.
