G.48 CURRICULUM
G.48.1 Magister Scientiae (Dentium) (Dental Public Health)
This Masters programme in Dental Public Health is a flexible learning programme for students on campus or
living and working elsewhere in the world.
G.48.1.1 Aims and Objectives of the programme
To improve district oral health services by developing the capacity of health personnel to plan, manage and
deliver oral health services. The course focuses on the provision of knowledge, skills and qualities required to
run successful oral health programmes. It aims to develop proficiency in community diagnosis, assessment of
oral health needs, developing and managing strategies to meet those needs and methods for evaluating oral
health services. You will graduate from this course with a unique combination of health care management and
applied DPH knowledge and skills that will build on your previous training and experience in oral health.
After completing this programme you will be able to:
demonstrate knowledge, skills and qualities related to priority DPH issues
address the underlying social and environmental determinants of health and oral health contribute to DPH policy, planning and programmes
plan and supervise health research to support oral health promotion and care
develop a community profile and diagnosis
establish and use a DPH health management information system
prepare and implement budget plans and funding proposals
communicate and work effectively with individuals and groups using different media.
G.48.1.2 Programme Structure
The programme comprises four main components, namely an Introductory Module, a Dental Public Health
Module, a Research Preparation Module and the Research Report (mini-thesis). The Introductory Module atthe start of the programme is designed (1) to orientate the student to all aspects of the learning process, (2) to
assist the student to contextualise the course material within the broader conceptual environment of health,
public health and development, and (3) to initiate the thesis research process. The programme includesactivities that will enhance academic literacy during this time, including reading, writing and learning skills
and computer literacy. The student will prepare a short situation analysis of their community for submissionand evaluation by the end of this period. Aims of the Dental Public Health Module is to (1) study 10 high
priority DPH problems, (2) to provide an integrated learning activity where each DPH case is examined using
the tools provided by a variety of dental health and public health disciplines, and (3) to contextualise DPHwithin the broader environment of public health and society. Students will work through these different DPH
scenarios guided by the calendar of deadlines and goals provided. Each case is designed so that students
engage the resources of a variety of different disciplines in order to understand and respond to the issues at thecore of each DPH case. Three written tasks will be submitted for evaluation during this period. The Research
Preparation Module sets out (1) to prepare students for the necessary research skills to design, carry out and

write up a piece of research as their MSc thesis, and (2) to utilise this integrated task as a common theme in
the learning of a variety of academic literacy, numeracy, computer and research skills. The assignment tasksinclude the preparation of a literature review and a completed protocol.
