Dentistry programs offered through the Hamdan Bin Mohammed College of Dental Medicine include specialist postgraduate degrees in Prosthodontics, Pediatric Dentistry, Orthodontics, Endodontics, and Periodontology; as well as a Dental Internship Program, the first of its kind in Dubai, created to broaden the perspective of recently graduated dentists by providing the opportunity to deliver comprehensive patient-centered dental care at the Dubai Dental Hospital, MBRU’s clinical partner and the College’s teaching hospital.. 

MBRU has also launched a College of Nursing and Midwifery for the academic year 2020/21. Currently, the College offers two postgraduate programs, in cardiovascular and pediatric nursing. Designed to support and improve the practice of nursing in the UAE and the region, the programs are in partnership with Queen’s University of Belfast in Northern Ireland, which will allow students to undergo a 12-week period of clinical nursing practice at the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust as part of their program.
