The Leeds Masters Programme in Dental Public Health provides the ability to learn how to prevent oral diseases and promote oral health for a population. The MSc is led by internationally recognised educators and researchers who are specialists in clinical dentistry, psychology, sociology, oral epidemiology and public health.
The Dental Public Health degree offers you the opportunity to enhance professional and academic knowledge alongside others from multi-disciplinary backgrounds from around the world. You will learn alongside these students subject areas that form the foundation of Dental Public Health. Two modules are taught alongside all Taught Dental Postgraduates and a further two modules are delivered by the Nuffield Centre for International Health and Development. This learning experience will provide rich networking opportunities and deepen you appreciation of international public health.
The programme will introduce you to research skills in qualitative and quantitative methodologies. You will gain a deeper understanding of the role and importance of evidence reviews, literature searching, critical appraisal, project management, ethical issues and evidence synthesis and analysis. You will be supported to develop an individual research project culminating in a dissertation.
