Programme Structure

Dentistry’s postgraduate programmes at the levels of MSc, MSc (Clin) and PGDip all require students to take the core taught units of Research Methods and Biostatistics (worth 15 credits each) in addition to those specialty units of their particular discipline. The specialty units will comprise 90 credits of the programme’s total (180 credits for MSc and MSc (Clin) students, and 120 credits for PGDip students). Detail of the programme structure relevant to you is outlined in your speciality programme handbook, available on Blackboard.

The final 60 credits for MSc and MSc (Clin) students are taken up by the research element of the programme – the dissertation.
