Q Who awards the Diploma?

The Diploma is awarded by the educational organisation BAARID – BRITISH ACADEMY AESTHETIC RESTORATIVE AND IMPLANT DENTISTRY.

The BAARID awarding committee has experienced practitioners all at master’s level or above and covers the specialisms of Oral Surgery, Orthodontics, Restorative, Periodontal, Endodontic and Periodontal Dentistry.

It is more educationally robust than any other private institutions and many universities.

Q Why no link with Warwick?

We can provide the certificate and level II course / Advanced Diploma at a much lower cost than Warwick.

We are also more clinically orientated and educationally robust than Warwick, and have a much higher quality teaching team.

Whilst many students think they will go onto an MSc they actually stop at Diploma level, which is more achievable and clinically relevant.

The masters component has no clinical relevance and will involve assignments/projects accounting to well over 20,000 words, so consequently very few students go onto the masters.

Feedback from students has been that it is Dominic who makes the course interesting and relevant, plus the Diploma through BAARID is better organised, cheaper and far more achievable.
