Our Story

The Post Graduate Institute of Dental Surgery was built on the foundations of the finest tertiary educational institutions from around the world.

It was conceived by a group of like-minded clinical academics who had held senior teaching positions in many universities and dental schools internationally.

PGIDS has been designed to deliver education, learning, and clinical training to the highest levels in dentistry.

The courses are designed to complete the jigsaw that is modern dentistry revelling the complete picture enabling clinicians at all levels to diagnose, plan and provide treatment to the very highest levels of quality and success.

The courses come together to form a complete and accredited diploma which is regulated by and awarding body recognised to SQA accreditation. An internationally recognised qualification.
