Course Summary

UCL's Dental Public Health MSc programme has an outstanding national and international reputation. Students will be taught by members of the internationally renowned UCL Dental Public Health Research Group, which is a World Health Organisation Collaborating Centre for Oral Health Inequalities and Public Health, led by Professor Richard Watt. Dental Public Health applies public health principles and philosophy to oral diseases. It is the science and practice of preventing oral diseases, promoting oral health, and improving quality of life through population-based approaches.We offer a challenging and innovative programme of study. The programme provides students with a thorough grounding in the factors determining oral health, as well as evidence-based ways of promoting oral health and reducing oral health inequalities. Apart from studying the philosophy and principles of dental public health, students are equipped with knowledge and transferable skills in epidemiology, statistics, research methods and the planning and evaluation of oral health promotion interventions and dental health care systems. The programme is designed to engage and inspire, and to encourage maximum participation and involvement. Large parts of the programme are delivered via small group teaching, where students are actively encouraged to ask questions and challenge prevailing paradigms.
