I want to be a dentist with a research background, and I hope to make my share of efforts for human oral health through my future research practice, and to benefit patients with oral diseases with my research results.

The teaching and learning environment in our programme is extremely friendly and supportive, which provides a very good atmosphere for students to learn. The teachers are not only very knowledgeable but also very committed and innovative in their teaching methods; they are always willing to help students with academic problems and encourage us to actively participate in discussions and practical activities. This open and supportive teaching style greatly facilitates communication and co-operation among students, enabling us to grow personally and professionally in a challenging learning process. The enthusiasm and professionalism of the teachers also greatly stimulated our interest and passion for the subject, laying a solid foundation for our future career path.

Dental Materials Science provides us with in-depth expertise and skills to enable them to work effectively in dentistry and related healthcare fields. By studying the properties and applications of various dental materials, we can acquire the necessary skills to perform high quality dental restorations and treatments. In addition, the programme develops our creative research skills, problem solving skills and the ability to work in multidisciplinary teams.

We have a very extensive lab programme in which the teachers are very patient. Also, our classes are very interactive, which significantly adds to the atmosphere of the classroom.

Dental materials science is an integral part of the field of dentistry and studies the use of various materials (e.g. alloys, ceramics, polymers, etc.) in dental treatment. These materials are used in the fabrication of dental restorations, dentures, braces and other oral treatment devices. And, as the University of Birmingham is very strong in this field, I hope that by researching and applying new materials and techniques, in the future I can have a direct impact on the quality of life of my patients, such as improving their ability to chew and their aesthetics through more durable and natural looking restorative materials.

The University of Birmingham is one of the UK’s leading universities, renowned for its excellence in teaching and research. It has strong academic strengths in a number of subject areas, particularly in medicine, engineering and business management. And the University of Birmingham is renowned for the quality and impact of its research, offering students the opportunity to participate in innovative and cutting-edge research. The University works with a number of international organisations and companies to provide students with practical research experience.
