Student testimonial - Elan Bateman

Elan chose UCL Eastman for its status as Europe’s largest postgraduate dental school and a world-leading centre for dentistry and research, with UCL ranked among the top ten universities globally.

I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the MClinDent programme at the Institute. The clinical and academic teaching is world class and the research opportunities within the institute are exceptional. I was fully supported throughout my own research and all students are actively encouraged to apply for prizes and awards at national and international level. For my MClinDent project I was jointly awarded the Houston Postgraduate Research Scholar Award by the British Orthodontic Society.

Since graduating, I have been working within the department of orthodontics at the Eastman Dental Hospital as a specialist orthodontist. I will shortly be commencing further training in the speciality to become a consultant orthodontist.

Studying at the Eastman has given me an excellent platform to start my orthodontic career. It has given me opportunities to publish and present my research at national and international conferences and also develop my own teaching experience.
