MSc Forensic Odontology- University of Glamorgan

The Forensic Odontology course is offered as an MSc, which will require completion of six 20-credit modules plus an additional 60-credit research project module.

Each 20-credit module runs over 6 weeks. The first 4 weeks are self-directed learning – where most of the information is given to the student online and he/she are expected to familiarise themselves with this and read around the subject. These 4 weeks are then followed by 2 weeks of directed learning during which the student will need to attend the University of Glamorgan premises for lectures, tutorials and practical sessions.

Please also refer to the link below which will provide you with more information relating to the different modules available and links to pages relating to scholarships and fees.

The University of Glamorgan has a structured application procedure which involves completion of a full application and references. The entry requirements for the course are a Bachelor Degree in the Dental Surgery (BDS) (or equivalent) from a recognised University and an IELTS score of 6.5 or more. The deadline for applications is usually the 1^st of March. All applications are considered after the deadline and those shortlisted will be invited for interview (which can be conducted over the phone if the student is based abroad) usually towards the end of March/beginning of April. Applicants shortlisted from the interviews are then offered a place on the course.

This year’s deadline for applications for entry in September 2011 is 1st March 2011. All applications are considered after the deadline and then shortlisted for interview. Interviews are normally towards the end of March/beginning of April. Applicants successful after the interviews will be offered a place on the course around May/June.

I believe that for VISA purposes international students may not have a part-time attendance option since regulations require international students to be resident in the UK throughout the duration of the course. Please contact the International Office for more information about this (http://international.glam.ac.uk/ )
