Dentistry - masters | Master's degree | Health & Well-Being | On Campus | University of Toronto | Canada

The M.Sc. degree is intended to reflect mastery of a field, including the ability to teach that field using a continually current, evidence-based approach. Although candidates are required to spend a minimum of one academic year of study, to take required courses and to submit a thesis, the M.Sc. program is normally targeted for completion in two years. Programs entail completion of coursework requirements and thesis submission and defence. Permission for part-time studies may be given if the proposed research is determined to be of a nature that can best be accommodated by part-time studies. In addition to the dental specialty programs leading to the M.Sc. degree, the department offers M.Sc. level education in all biomedical research fields relevant to dentistry. Students in the M.Sc. program may take a transfer examination to qualify for direct entry in the Ph.D. program.
