Faculty Postgraduate Prospectus
The HKU Faculty of Dentistry is the only dental school in Hong Kong, and is considered to be the premier centre for postgraduate dental education and training globally.

We also have highly-skilled dedicated manpower to assist learning. Dental surgery assistants, dental hygienists, dental technicians and laboratory technicians are but a few groups of staff employed by the Faculty of Dentistry to assist learning.
Our taught postgraduate programmes which have an esteemed reputation cover ten subject areas and lead to the Master of Science (MSc) Degrees, the Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) Degrees and professional Advanced Diploma which builds on the MDS Degree. Many of these programmes fulfil the specialist training requirements of dental specialties of the College of Dental Surgeons of Hong Kong of the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine.
There is a limited number of self-financing places in each specialty programme. Some government-funded places may be available for local candidates.
