This three-year MSc (Clin) Periodontology course focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease. Students will learn the skills needed to critically evaluate and solve problems relating to periodontology. Students will also develop their research skills as they will learn how to design research projects, collect data, conduct simple analyses and interpret the results. These projects may be within areas such as genetics, microbiology or biomaterials. Manchester has links with the Cochrane Oral Health Group and the World Health Organisation Collaborating Centre for the Treatment of Cranio-Facial Anomalies. Each student will be prepared to become a Member in Restorative Dentistry through the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. Formal assessment for the Research Methods and Biostatistics components takes the form of two tutor-marked assignments per unit. Assessment of each course unit generally follows a standard plan, which involves mid or end of unit assignments (e.g. literature reviews) and end of semester examinations in the format of MCQs or SBAs. Clinical progress will be monitored using clinical logbooks and regular clinical competency assessments. Patient case reports outlined in the student's logbook will provide formative assessment of his/her clinical competencies during the course.
