This double degree is ideal for those students who are interested in developing hands-on practical skills in designing and making dentures, crowns and bridges, combined with diagnosing, designing and fitting removable dentures directly to patients. For secondary school leavers, it will provide opportunities for specialisation and more opportunities for employment upon graduation.

Students graduate with two qualifications to be able to work as both a Dental Technologist/Technician and Dental Prosthetist.

Dental Technologists (or Dental Technicians as they are often referred to) are highly skilled members of the dental team. They combine art and science skills to construct custom-made dental devices such as dentures, crowns, bridges and orthodontic appliances to replace, restore and correct defects that may affect our facial appearance and the ability to use our teeth properly. They generally work behind the scenes in laboratories and not directly on patients.

Dental Prosthetists work independently in a clinical setting to diagnose and treat patients requiring removable partial or full dentures.

The first three years will be spent developing highly specialised hand skills, finishing with a professional practice course where students work alongside dentistry students on "real-life real-time" patient cases. The final fourth year builds on the previous years with a focus on developing clinical knowledge and skills to diagnose, fabricate, make and fit dentures directly to patients.

A number of key benefits set Griffith's Dental Prosthetist education apart from that at other teaching institutions. Students develop advanced critical analytical skills to solve difficult technical and clinical situations. They learn in an inter-professional environment from experienced Dental Prosthetists and specialists in fields such as:

• Oral Pathology
• Pharmacology
• Radiology
• Prosthodontics

Dental Prosthetic students practice alongside Dentistry students to develop communication and collaboration skills in individual cases. This may include, for example, inserting and monitoring immediate dentures or witnessing a variety of complex dental procedures. This process is managed through the Team-Based Treatment Planning Process which develops patient referral skills.

You will gain knowledge and skills from across the broad environmental science spectrum, exploring environmental issues from social, physical and biological perspectives. On completion of core science courses in your first year of study, you will choose a major that suits your interests and career plans. The final year includes a "capstone" experience where you have the option to undertake a research project or participate in industry internships to gain employment-relevant experience. Combining a discipline specific major with a major in Environmental Management will equip you with the broad set of knowledge and skills needed to be an environmental science professional.

This combined degree produces professional engineers with a solid foundation in engineering principles and the managerial skills to run complex projects. Students develop knowledge and skills in their preferred Engineering major combined with key business competencies such as organisational behaviour, communication, economics, and quality control. Skills are enhanced through off-campus industry experience to prepare students for entry to the workforce.

After completing two years of study in the Bachelor of Physiotherapy program (1589) or Bachelor of Physiotherapy program (1579), high achieving students with a Grade Point Average of at least 5.0 are eligible to apply to transfer to the Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) program. Similar to the Bachelor of Physiotherapy program, these students will need to demonstrate physiotherapy knowledge and skills required for entry-level clinical physiotherapy practice. In addition, Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) students will develop and demonstrate advanced knowledge and skills relating to research in their final two years of study.

Graduates will be eligible to register to practice as a Physiotherapist within Australia following accreditation and also progress directly to higher degree research study such as a Master of Philosophy or Doctor of Philosophy.
