Location of University of Bristol
This distance learning programme is a unique form of dental postgraduate education, designed to be attractive to busy dental practitioners. From a choice of 11 one-year units, you must successfully complete three units within five years to achieve the Diploma (DPDS). Each unit provides a structured programme involving reading, writing and educational participation, totalling 80 hours academic work, including study days.
This method of study is not led by teachers in a classroom but is supported by tutors and administration at a distance, offering the flexibility to suit your personal needs. The units are specially written for the programme and are designed to be interactive, giving you the opportunity to think and learn for yourself.
Following successful completion of the DPDS, you may carry out a research project and prepare a dissertation, over two years to achieve the MSc.
Contents
Programme material is posted as modules throughout the year. There are between seven and ten modules per unit and they contain assignments to be completed by the student. The units normally available are:
* Anxiety Control and Sedation
* Business Management Skills
* Fixed Prosthodontics (with and without pulps)
* Lead and Succeed
* Oral Health and Disease
* Oral Surgery
* Paediatric Dentistry
* Periodontology
* Prosthetic Dentistry
* Special Care Dentistry
* Wear and Tear
There are normally three compulsory study days per unit, usually held at weekends. These cover areas that do not lend themselves well to distant study, such as 'hands on' sessions.
