Prepare for specialty exams
Our three-year MSc (Clin) courses develop the skills and experience you need to become eligible to take the Royal College of Surgeons examinations appropriate to your specialty, including attachments at the Royal College in London and work experience in some of the north-west's best hospitals.
Get ready for a research career
If you want to undertake a PhD after your master's, you'll benefit from studying at a university conducting research impacting the delivery and quality of dental care, and reducing oral health inequalities.
You'll be encouraged to attend and present at conferences, and you can choose either a lab- or review-based dissertation topic.
