The University of Essex has launched a new MSc programme in Periodontology – specifically designed for dental hygienists.

The MSc in Advanced Periodontal Practice is a part-time programme designed to fit with the demands of the busy primary care practitioner. Through one afternoon and one evening every fortnight the new postgraduate programme continues the School of Health and Human Science's strategy to provide opportunities to enhance the skills and knowledge of the future dental team.
