Academic title MSc Dental Primary Care
Course description Programme

This degree programme is designed to suit the busy dentist who is unable to attend on a full-time basis. The course has a modular structure allowing practitioners to dictate the pace of their own study.

How You Will Be Taught

Students are required to complete three modules – one of which is compulsory – to be eligible for the Certificate in Dental Primary Care. Each module consists of 30 hours' attendance for taught elements and project presentations, which includes lectures, seminars and practical exercises. You will also be expected to contribute 170 hours of independent study. You will be required to submit a 5,000-word summary of the content of each module. The teaching days provide the theoretical core teaching and the opportunity to learn new skills or revise existing ones within the environment of our clinical-skills laboratory. These practical aspects are further developed through the completion of coursework, part of which will involve the care of patients within your home clinical setting. The coursework will allow additional teaching and assist in your ongoing development.
