Guy’s Campus
Tucked next to London Bridge and the historic Borough Market, Guy's Campus is a close-knit home for health and science students. With cutting-edge labs and buzzing central location, it offers an inspiring and unique place to study.
Overview
Our ground-breaking course provides training to a specialist level for dental technicians, maxillofacial prosthetists and dentists.
Students are exposed to multiple teaching styles which include consultant-led clinics, chair-side guidance, small group work and close mentoring, with emphasis on the importance of evidence base in the literature. Instruction is consistent with the demands of the IMPT Curriculum for Maxillofacial Prosthodontics and recognises how this interrelates with other rehabilitation skills.
