This 12-month full-time MSc course explores the interdisciplinary field of oral biology, for those from either a scientific or clinical background. It provides the opportunity to develop a systematic understanding of knowledge and a critical awareness of current problems and new insights around the subject. The course involves four taught core modules and a five-month laboratory research project leading to a dissertation. It encompasses a wide breadth of biomedical research that is also applicable to clinical dentistry and medicine, derived from the research strengths available within the School of Dentistry. The course has a strong research focus in the taught element, as well as the laboratory research projects, and it is envisaged as an entry for postgraduate research. Oral and Dental disease is a world-wide problem, often leading to loss of quality of life. This course offers in depth knowledge of Oral Biology, including disease mechanisms, understanding of the complex interplay between host and microorganisms driving pathology, as well as current approaches to tissue repair and regeneration.
