Course content

This online learning MSc focuses on how we can combat the global health issues and challenges facing dental healthcare today, using strategic planning, evidence-informed decision-making and strong public health leadership.

You’ll discover how dental policy decisions are made and implemented, how to design a research study that can address issues in your healthcare setting, and what makes an effective leader.

You’ll take eight compulsory modules from the Postgraduate Diploma course and choose a specialist MSc module to gain advanced skills. You’ll also complete a dissertation, based on your research interests, in your second year.

You’ll be studying at an internationally respected institution: we’re the UK’s top-rated dental school for research impact (REF 2014). We have some of the most modern facilities in the UK: the Institute of Dentistry moved to new premises in The Royal London Hospital in 2014 – the first UK dental school to be built in 40 years.

MSc students can also attend an optional two-week summer placement in the Institute of Dentistry, as part of the non-credit bearing module Leadership and Planning in Health and Public Services. For this module, you’ll also complete an e-portfolio to record your leadership development.
