The MBBS is a six-year undergraduate program which offers something truly unique to our students through early clinical exposure from Year 1, research that takes place on the MBRU campus, and affiliations with local and international healthcare institutions. The MSBS ensures that students develop the theoretical and practical skills required in biomedical sciences, with a focus on research, genomics, and cellular biology, whilst the PhD in Biomedical Sciences focuses on the broader themes of medical and biomedical sciences that capitalize on the areas of strength within MBRU.
The Hamdan Bin Mohammed College of Dental Medicine aims to provide a nurturing environment for current and future leaders in dentistry through a contemporary and evolving curriculum centered in evidence-based patient care, critical thinking, and life-long learning. The College is home to five full-time postgraduate dental programs (Endodontics, Orthodontics, Pediatric Dentistry, Prosthodontics and Periodontics), all of which are accredited by the UAE Ministry of Education, leading to eligibility for the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd) and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) specialty membership examinations. Upon graduation, all of our postgraduate dental students are recognized as specialists in the UAE. Our students benefit from a unique curriculum and practice through the Dubai Dental Hospital, our academic affiliate which is instituted to provide the highest standards of dental care for the community, and are also supported by world-leading learning resources such as the Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor Medical Simulation Center and the fully resourced Al Maktoum Medical Library.
