Our college is home to five full-time postgraduate dental programs, all of which are accredited by the Ministry of Education in the UAE, leading to the eligibility for the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd) and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) specialty membership examinations. Upon graduation, all our postgraduate dental students are recognized as specialists in the UAE. Non-national graduates will be required to take the specialist license exam.
