Master of Dental Surgery in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

The Master of Dental Surgery in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery [MDS(OralMaxFacSur)] is a three-year full- time programme designed to enable candidates to achieve an advanced level of knowledge and competence in oral and maxillofacial surgery. The programme includes a prescribed course of study and a supervised research project.

The programme aims to enable students to acquire familiarity with most pathological conditions affecting the mouth and jaws; an understanding of the principles of patient management and experience of in-patient care; basic skills in oral surgery and selected aspects of maxillofacial surgery. Students will also gain knowledge of the relevant literature and the ability to assess such literature critically.
