M.Sc. Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry (in German and English language)

This postgraduate Master's programme focuses on restorative dentistry and dental aesthetics in an interdisciplinary context. It teaches functional, aesthetic and scientific skills for complex reconstruction – from minimally invasive procedures to CAD/CAM and implant prosthetics. A strong practical focus, clinical placements, and interdisciplinary training prepare students for demanding aesthetic concepts. 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- and specialization modules) 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 thesis and to pass the final oral exam.

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