Embark on a research journey with the MSc by research in Oral and Dental Sciences at the University of Bristol, a programme designed for ambitious individuals eager to contribute to advancements in oral health. This postgraduate degree focuses on critical areas such as antimicrobial resistance (AMR), novel healthcare technologies, and the intricate link between oral microbes and systemic disease. You will delve into cutting-edge research themes, including biomaterials engineering for dental applications, the complex dynamics of oral biofilms, and the associations between periodontal disease and systemic health conditions like Alzheimer's disease. This course is ideal if you possess a strong scientific curiosity and a desire to push the boundaries of dental science.
You will undertake this full-time, on-campus Masters by research degree over two years, immersing yourself in a dynamic research environment. Your studies will involve close collaboration within the School's overarching research themes of Microbiology and Materials (MM) and Epidemiology and Health Services Research (EHSR). You will have the opportunity to engage in both laboratory-based and clinical studies, potentially working alongside experts in areas like cell-instructive surfaces, light-powered antimicrobial technologies, and clinical trials. Graduates will be well-prepared for further doctoral study or careers in research and development within academia or the dental industry.
