The Bachelor of Dental Technology/Bachelor of Dental Prosthetics at Griffith University brings together technical skills in dental appliance fabrication with clinical knowledge in providing dental prosthetic care. Across four years in Brisbane, students learn how to design and manufacture dental appliances such as dentures, crowns, and mouthguards, while also developing the skills needed to assess, diagnose, and directly treat patients who require removable dental prostheses.
This double degree structure follows the Australian Qualifications Framework with set units of study and credit points, progressing from foundation health sciences to specialised dental technology and prosthetics. Students gain hands-on skills through on-campus laboratories and clinical simulation, and undertake work-integrated learning placements where they apply both the technical and clinical aspects of their profession in real-world dental clinics and laboratories.
A capstone project or clinical placement, typically in the final year, synthesises learning and prepares students for professional practice. Skills developed include dental materials science, digital dental design, communication with patients, and understanding the regulatory context of oral healthcare in Australia. The course is suitable for those who enjoy health sciences, want practical skills, and are interested in working closely with both patients and dental teams.
Graduates are encouraged to confirm accreditation and professional registration details directly with the university, as these can affect practice rights in Australia. International students should note English language requirements and that regular work rights of 48 hours per fortnight are in place, with eligibility for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream after graduation. Check the official Griffith University and CRICOS sites for up-to-date information.
It typically takes 4 years, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
