Overview
- The DMD at the University of Sydney is a professionally oriented doctoral-level dental programme that emphasises early practical, patient-based learning complemented by simulation, laboratory and clinic experiences.

- The curriculum is designed to meet evolving oral-health needs, equip graduates with leadership, research literacy, team-based care, cultural competence and evidence-informed clinical judgement.
- Graduates are eligible for registration with the Dental Board of Australia, enabling them to practise as dentists in Australia (and in many cases meet requirements for overseas recognition) with the appropriate licensing steps.
