Teaching methods - what to expect
We will use a delivery method that will ensure students have a rich, exciting experience from the start. Face to face teaching will be complemented and supported with innovative technology so that students also experience elements of digital learning and assessment.
This course is primarily taught at King’s College London Guy’s Campus and King’s College London Denmark Hill Campus, and students may also have clinical sessions at Queen Mary’s Hospital Sidcup. Further locations may be established in future years.
The usual training period will be a minimum of 4500 hours across the degree.
The course content is typically apportioned as:
- 60% clinical
- 25% academic
- 15% research
This time allocation is flexible and will depend upon the capacity of the trainees to complete the curriculum to a competent level.
Standard university term times do not apply to this course. You will receive a leave allowance for each academic year with full details provided on enrolment.
Assessment
- Written examinations
- Oral examinations
Your three academic taught modules will be assessed by written exams. Your THREE clinical modules will be examined on cases and open problems with oral exams, and you will have one research module, for which you will submit a report, with an oral exam. Students must pass all seven modules with an overall mark of 50% in each in order to be awarded the MClinDent. Compensation will be permitted within modules, but not between modules, provided that the mark of an individual element of assessment does not fall below 40%. The percentage weighting for the calculation of merit and distinction will directly reflect the proportion of credits allocated to each module in relation to the overall credit taken within each programme/award, with classification thresholds set according to the core scheme as set out in the “Credit Framework Regulations” of King’s College London. The conferment of the MClinDent degree will only be made following completion of the supervised clinical work to a standard deemed satisfactory by the Assessment Sub Board. To qualify for the exit award of MSc in Endodontics students must pass modules totaling a minimum of 60 credits from Parts 1-3, modules totaling a minimum of 60 credits from Parts 4-6, and pass Part 7. The study time and assessment methods detailed above are typical and give you a good indication of what to expect. However, they may change if the course modules change.
