Course summary

Our Master of Science in Oral Surgery provides a unique and highly relevant approach to clinical oral surgery. The MSc is delivered by leading clinicians and scientists who will help you develop the skills and knowledge to provide high quality, safe and effective clinical care, based on the latest clinical evidence.

The clinical content of the programme includes the management of patients with complex medical problems; simple and complex extractions; management of the complications of oral surgery; surgical removal of roots and unerupted teeth; management of wisdom teeth and odontogenic cysts; and the diagnosis and management of facial pain.

Your clinical knowledge and skills will be underpinned by an understanding of the latest evidence-based practice and clinical guidelines. Your understanding of research methods and interpretation of research data will be enhanced through tutorials, seminars and journal clubs, equipping you with the skills to produce your own independent research dissertation.

Design and provision of a modern clinical service requires a deep understanding of the principles of clinical governance, including clinical audit. On this programme you will learn how to apply the audit cycle to your own clinical practice and compare your outcomes to the best available standards. You will also gain experience in application of service improvement methods. These techniques developed in other industries have been adopted widely by healthcare providers.

Career opportunities

This programme will build your clinical experience and confidence in oral surgery and equip you with knowledge and skills that will allow you to take your clinical career forward. You will have a greater ability to critically appraise published research and professional guidelines which underpin evidenced-based practice.

The level of expertise you achieve on the programme will be influenced by your previous knowledge, experience in the field and your active approach to learning. Your career choices upon completion of the programme will also be affected by your registration with regulatory bodies such as the UK General Dental Council.

Upon successful completion, this programme does not provide/demonstrate eligibility to register with the GDC UK as a dental care professional or as a specialist in Oral Surgery.

Alumni of this programme have gone on to develop their own independent oral surgery practice, progressed in specialist teaching posts and progressed into NHS Core Training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
