Online programmes are particularly suitable for working dentists who need flexibility in their learning pattern or those who are geographically distant from the Institute. They are designed to engage participants in a learning experience that is inclusive and stimulating without the need to constantly visit campus and be ‘on-site’. Many of the following degrees also allow you to exitÌýat multiple points with a lesser qualification (Certificate, Diploma etc) according to modules completed.
