Shaped by a diverse student and staff population which adds strength to the faculty standing, this latest ranking confirms their position as a world-class institution.
This achievement recognises the major contribution of the faculty to the research base of dentistry, and the high quality of education and career preparation provided to our students, under the skilled leadership of Professor Mike Curtis. Congratulations to all.
