Location of The University of Manchester
This is a web-based programme hosted within the School of Dentistry at the University of Manchester. The MRes programme provides a combination of interactive online learning and project work to help students to develop a critical evidence-based approach to planning services and improving oral health at a population level. The MRes will develop skills for health services research and be especially suitable for those who wish to study for a PhD subsequently but have limited experience of research.
The MRes comprises 6 course units and a dissertation (180 credits):
* Biostatistics [15 credits]
* Epidemiology [15 credits]
* Evidence Based Practice [15 credits]
* Dissertation/project [90 credits]
* Three optional course units [15 credits each] which must include at least one of the following units: * Oral health and Disease in Populations
* Implementing Strategy in Dental Services
Qualitative Research Methods [15 credits] is a prerequisite for any students planning a qualitative dissertation.
Students are advised to take at least two core course units in the first year of the course for part-time students, or in the first semester for full-time students.
