Overview

The Faculty of Dentistry offers graduate programs leading to either a Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy degree. These graduate programs appeal to:

applicants, both dentists and non-dentists, who wish to pursue graduate research training; and
applicants who have a degree in dentistry and who are pursuing research training and advanced clinical education in one of the dental specialties (also known as fields).

Consequently, both the MSc and the PhD degrees have a common core of coursework, with each having varying additional research and clinical training requirements (if applicable).

The Dentistry MSc program develops students’ scholarly skills and critical thoughts, and is intended for those whose career goal is to achieve mastery of a field in oral health science, employment in a research environment, or clinical specialty practice (if applicable). The MSc in Dentistry can be completed through the following options: 1) thesis in the field of Dental Biomedical Sciences, 2) thesis with dental specialty, or 3) coursework only with dental specialty.

The Dentistry PhD program is intended for those whose career goal is to work at the forefront of their field in oral health sciences as an independent research scientist or clinician-scientist in an academic, governmental, or industrial setting. This thesis-based program can be completed with or without a dental specialty, and on a full-time basis only.
