The Master of Dental Surgery in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics [MDS(Orthodontics&DentofacialOrthopaedics)] programme aims to educate dentists to become specialists in orthodontics with a solid, broad academic background and adequate clinical experience in different treatment methods. The programme achieves this through prescribed coursework, supervised clinical work and a supervised research project. The coursework will enable students to acquire knowledge of the relevant literature and basic scientific skills; to develop a scientific approach to solving problems; learn to assess and criticise scientific papers; undertake typodont courses, and implement techniques in clinical orthodontics to an advanced level.
