Course summary

This one-year full-time or two-year part-time master's programme gives you an understanding of applied clinical sciences, research methods and the concepts of oral and maxillofacial surgery. You will gain hands-on practical experience in dentoalveolar surgery, working with UCL's expert clinicians at the Royal National Ear, Nose and Throat and Eastman Dental Hospital. 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. This programme is suitable for students who have completed an undergraduate degree in dentistry and who wish to extend their knowledge of oral and maxillofacial surgery, learn research methodology and build confidence in hands-on surgical skills and dentoalveolar surgery techniques. One of our aims is to support the development of oral surgery in other countries, especially where healthcare challenges are different from the UK. We are aware that surgeons in these countries may have to contend with a higher prevalence of untreated disease, limited financial and technical resources, and potentially limited support for specialist surgery.
