Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery MSc

Our well-established Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery MSc gives you a broad education in the theory of oral and maxillofacial surgery. It is the ideal foundation for widening your scope of treatment in dental practice, in preparation for hospital training posts or further training.

The course has a strong balance between taught elements, a research project and practical experience. This means you will have the opportunity to learn research methodology, complete a dissertation and practise hands-on surgical skills and dentoalveolar surgical techniques.

Clinical skills training, held within our new university facilities, helps you develop and refine your surgical skills with access to microscopes and imaging equipment. The clinical, patient-facing aspects of the programme take place just across the road in the new Royal National Ear, Nose and Throat and Eastman Dental Hospital (ENTED).

You will participate in consultation clinics, local anaesthetic, conscious sedation, and general anaesthetic oral surgery operating sessions.

There are also opportunities to observe inpatient oral and maxillofacial surgery operating procedures. Lectures give you a theoretical knowledge base, and are complemented by interactive seminars, case-based discussions and problem-based learning.
