Learning is by taught seminars and private study. This is also linked to clinical practice with an emphasis on reflective learning.
The degree course begins with an introductory period of core topics. Following this is an introductory period in the laboratory to familiarise students with the facilities and the basics of wire-bending skills, appliance design and appliance construction and mechanics.
This is followed by five structured terms of theoretical seminars and tutorials. Diagnostic tests are carried out on a regular basis. Clinical care of patients is established early within the first term. There are written examinations at the end of each term. Postgraduates will be required to complete a supervised research dissertation of between 15,000 - 20,000 words in the subject area of Paediatric Dentistry.
