King's College

King’s College, which was founded in the heart of London by Royal Charter under the patronage of King George IV in 1829, is one of the oldest Colleges of the University of London.

The Guy’s, King’s and St Thomas’ (GKT) School of Dentistry came into being in 1998 following the merger of the United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals with King’s College School of Medicine and Dentistry, so bringing together, as one institution, some of the most famous medical and dental schools in London.

The College has always had an impressive academic tradition and many of its members have achieved international recognition in their fields, some of them becoming Nobel Prize winners.

The Guy’s, King’s and St Thomas’ School of Dentistry is responsible for the academic direction of the dental programmes for External students.

Specifically, the Department of Dental Radiology is responsible for the MSc in Dental Radiology and the Postgraduate Diploma in Diagnostic Radiology; the Department of Dental Public Health and Community Dental Education for the MSc in Community Dental Practice and MSc in Dental Public Health; and the Unit of Distance Education for the M.Clin.Dent. (Prosthodontics).

This responsibility includes developing the programme structures and syllabuses, writing the study materials, tutoring students during the intensive courses held in the UK, advising students and ensuring that External students are examined (in both the written examinations and in coursework) to the same standard as students studying at GKT and at the University of London as a whole.
