| Master of Science (M.Sc.) Dental Sciences (Non-Thesis) (45 credits) |
|---|
|
The Non-Thesis M.Sc. program offers students the possibility to supplement their existing education by exploring a variety of research topics. The Non-Thesis program focuses on research and/or clinical expertise to improve populational health, including diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, and control. The program includes a practicum in an organization or a clinic implicated in providing public health services. All non-thesis students are encouraged to seek volunteer and summer research opportunities with researchers in the Faculty to further their research experience. This program offers students a great opportunity to clarify their interests, connect with faculty members, and engage with their cutting-edge research programs to seek additional career and training options (such as entering a Ph.D. program). This non-thesis option is not a residency program and does not provide clinical qualifications. |
| Master of Science (M.Sc.) Dental Sciences (Thesis) (45 credits) |
The goal of this program is to train students in research in the dental sciences, which comprise a number of disciplines relating to the functioning of the oro-facial complex. For the Thesis Master’s in Dental Sciences, we aim to train students to:
This program also includes the Clinician-Scientist Pathway (MSc-DMD). If admitted through this pathway, the candidate would start with their graduate studies and complete their two-year Master's of Dental Science (Thesis) degree before moving to the first year of the Doctor of Dental Medicine Program (DMD) and complete the four years of their professional dentistry training. |
| Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Oral Health Sciences |
| A thesis for the doctoral degree must constitute original scholarship and must be a distinct contribution to knowledge. It must show familiarity with previous work in the field and must demonstrate ability to plan and carry out research, organize results, and defend the approach and conclusions in a scholarly manner. The research presented must meet current standards of the discipline; as well, the thesis must clearly demonstrate how the research advances knowledge in the field. Finally, the thesis must be written in compliance with norms for academic and scholarly expression and for publication in the public domain. |

Admission Requirements
M.Sc. in Dental Sciences
Students who have completed a D.M.D./D.D.S. or a B.Sc. in one of the Health Science disciplines listed on our website with a CGPA of 3.2 on a 4.0 scale are eligible to apply for admission to a graduate program in the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences leading to the M.Sc. degree in Dental Sciences. Applicants with a CGPA of lower than 3.2 may still be considered for admission if their application is accompanied by a justification for the lower CGPA. TOEFL (or IELTS) test results are required for applicants to graduate studies whose mother tongue is not English, and who have not completed an undergraduate or graduate degree from a recognized Canadian institution (anglophone or francophone) or from a recognized foreign institution where English is the language of instruction.
The number of candidates accepted each year will depend on the elective courses and research facilities available that are applicable to the candidate's area of expertise.
