The Bachelor of Dental Surgery Programme incorporates a variety of instructional approaches and philosophies, including student-centered learning, problem-based learning, patient-centered learning, and competency-based learning. The combination of these innovative methods with the traditional didactic approach has been developed based on a strong body of evidence, putting the programme in sync with the current implementation of dental education around the world. This is to ensure that the curriculum meets current needs while also considering future demands in dentistry. As a result, a five-year programme of courses has been developed to provide students with the necessary knowledge and experience. The programme includes basic and clinical sciences relevant to dentistry. Vertical integration underpins the teaching of biomedical and oral sciences in the first two years, and students are exposed to clinical sciences as early as year one and continue through year five. Our student-centered education emphasizes outcome-based learning, and students' progress is tracked using competency assessments that cover all or most of the learning domains (cognitive, psychomotor, and affective) that are integrated into the program's courses. They are part of the formative assessment, whereas the summative assessment includes written and oral exams at the end of each course. After completing this programme, graduates will be awarded the title 'Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS)' and will be qualified as general dentists under the Malaysian Dental Act and the Iraq-Kurdistan Dental Association.
