If you are keen to get away from a career in Dentistry, aren't you better-off to simply go for an MBA. Most MBA's have atleast 1 semester of elective units (sometime 2) depending on the length of the program. You can take these electives from Health Science Management area. You may not have a Hospital Management degree but you will gain valuable insights into the Health Science area/ industry. Also, you are not always limited to your particular University to take the elective units. You can undertake these from any Uni in Australia. Hence the program becomes extremely flexible.

The degrees offered in Australia are very flexible unlike what you seen in India. You can customise the programs to your needs of study.

So my suggestion is to focus on getting a good MBA.

Hey Shilpa

Thanks for your message my apologies as I missed your mail somehow....which course are you looking at?

Shilpa, firstly trying to get registered without the normal course (registration exams etc) is virtually impossible. What I can suggest is this - you need to first come here and undertake a course that could get you to stay back after your studies. A PG program in a related area such as the ones you have suggested is a good plan. Next you could go to University of Otago in NZ to undertake a comprehensive 1 year Dental program for Dentists. This program trains you to undertake both the theory and the practical exams in NZ. NZ registered Dentists are recognised in Aus (under mutual recognition).

In terms of where to study, this will largely depend on your preference of location. I can suggest the following;
Perth - Curtin
Brisbane - QUT/ Griffith
Sydney - UTS
Melbourne - RMIT
Tas - UTas

All uni are govt. funded so they all meet the highest standards. What you can also do is choose a regional location to save costs. Some attractive ones are Uni of Sunshine Coast, James Cook Uni, Charles Stuart etc.

What program are you after? Are you looking at perhaps registering as a Dentist in the long run in Aus?
