Overview
The Master of Dental Surgery in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics [MDS(Orthodontics&DentofacialOrthopaedics)] programme aims to educate dentists to become specialists in orthodontics with a solid, broad academic background and adequate clinical experience in different treatment methods. The programme achieves this through prescribed coursework, supervised clinical work and a supervised research project.
The coursework will enable students to acquire knowledge of the relevant literature and basic scientific skills; to develop a scientific approach to solving problems; learn to assess and criticise scientific papers; undertake typodont courses, and implement techniques in clinical orthodontics to an advanced level. Students will also learn to integrate theoretical and practical knowledge in the management of all kinds of young and adult orthodontic patients; acquire familiarity with related dental/medical disciplines and the biomedical sciences relevant to orthodontics; and receive training in research methods.
The programme includes an oral and written examination of clinical knowledge and skills, as well as a research project to be planned, conducted and presented as a written thesis or a publishable paper to a committee including Internal and External examiners.
