Welcome to U of T's Department of Graduate and Postgraduate Dentistry. The Faculty of Dentistry, University of Toronto is the leading graduate education centre in oral health sciences in Canada. We offer a research-intensive learning environment for advanced education of clinical specialists and research scientists alike, and our graduate program is open to both those with a dental degree and those who have graduated university and have majored in any subject that is applicable to research in oral health.

Our graduate department offers educational programs leading to either a Ph.D. or a M.Sc., with two streams depending on the career goals of the students: The M.Sc. / Dental Specialty stream includes the most comprehensive menu of dental specialty programs in North America; it is targeted to those whose career goal is to pursue clinical specialty practice with the extra dimension of part-time teaching or research. High quality, accredited specialty education is combined with a research thesis at the masters level.
