Structure

DClinDent in Orthodontics is currently available to study full-time for three years.

The aim of the DClinDent programme is to extend knowledge and skills in Orthodontics beyond the level obtained as an undergraduate and to prepare the candidate for a professional career as a specialist in that discipline.

The components of the programme are designed to accomplish this aim:

  • A programme of seminars, practical classes and other didactic sessions commencing with an introductory course and reviewing the clinical and scientific scope of the subject to determine its evidence base
  • Supervised clinical practice in which treatment planning and clinical procedures are performed for selected cases, including a number of complex treatments
  • Work based learning, clinical audit / service evaluation project as to evaluate clinical practices
  • A research investigation leading to a dissertation in which the candidate is required to demonstrate the application of scientific method to a problem of relevance to the subject area

This course includes extensive clinical training (60 per cent), formal teaching (25 per cent) and a supervised research project (15 per cent). All the taught and clinical modules in the programme are core teaching. You will have considerable choice when selecting a topic for your research project.
