This full-time, one-year Master's programme includes the diagnosis and medical treatment of, and research into, conditions of the mouth, face, salivary glands and jaws. The programme’s students gain an understanding of aetiopathogenesis, clinical features, investigation and management of disorders of the oral mucosa and salivary glands, non-neoplastic disease of the jawbones and disorders of sensation of the mouth, and develop skills in investigating and managing such diseases. The programme’s students benefit from the opportunity to become closely involved in the clinical care of patients, taking full part in the processes of examination, diagnosis, assessment, investigations and the prevention and management of disease. They will also be exposed to the research activities of the unit and gain significant experience in translational research design and delivery. Successful completion of the MSc in Oral Medicine might be considered when making allowance for past training and experience in relation to the length of training posts (Specialty Training) in oral medicine in the UK. After completion of the programme, graduates have typically followed five potential pathways: Academic/hospital positions in oral medicine in countries where no further academic or clinical training is required; PhD programmes (typically in the UK, but also in the EU and overseas); NHS clinical training positions, either foundation training or specialist training (in the UK); NHS posts e.g. speciality doctor/dentist in the UK; Positions in dental practices in the UK, EU and overseas.
