Examination board through which the programme will be considered:
Assessments & Standing Board, Dentistry
Relevant QAA Subject Benchmark Groups:
There are no masters level QAA benchmarks for Biosciences or Biomedical sciences. These undergraduate benchmark statements are not suitable for assessing masters level programme as the descriptors do not incorporate sufficient depth or challenge. The Dentistry M level QAA statements are integrated with the undergraduate benchmarks and are only related to Dental surgery courses.
Programme specification:
The programme will:
- provide structured individualised learning and training in a research environment of international excellence.
- be delivered by academics at the forefront of knowledge generation ranging from molecular discovery to translational application
- engage students in research projects using the latest technologies that generate results with scientific impact and potential for improving patient health
- equip students for the full process of translational oral research, which will be relevant for a range of biomedical scientific careers, providing the skills and insight to excel in multidisciplinary research.
The proposed MSc will be delivered within the School of Dentistry, whose recent highest ranking in REF impact case studies within the university demonstrates the expertise in translational research within the School; this is further supported by existing links with pharmaceutical industry (e.g. GSK, Colgate and Unilever), where we aim to provide project placements to high-achieving students.
Students will be introduced to a specialist field of oral bioscience and pathologies. There is no competition or conflict with other currently available programmes within the University, making the proposed MSc quite unique.
