Overview

Forensic odontology deals with the examination, handling, and presentation of dental evidence for the legal system.

On the Forensic and Legal Odontology (Part Time) programme from University of Dundee you’ll develop your knowledge, experience and skills in forensic odontology and the legal and ethical aspects of dentistry.

Key facts

This part-time course is taught online, with two weeks face to face teaching taking place each year on campus in Dundee.

You’ll learn the basic underlying scientific principles of forensic odontology, build the knowledge and skills that experts need to act as an expert witness, and develop and assess practical skills in Forensic case work. You’ll also gain experience of research methods in Forensic Dentistry.

Your time on campus in Dundee will give you the opportunity to undertake practical learning exercises including contact with cadavers, and small group discussions.

Careers and opportunities

You can go on to work in a regular dental practice and provide expert opinion when requested by coroners or procurator fiscals, police, and solicitors.

Many countries have established a Disaster Victim Identification team and forensic dentists are an important part of it. You can also be deployed as a team member of a privately held company.
