Modules
Required Modules

- Maxillofacial and Craniofacial Technology Part 2: Clinical Maxillofacial and Craniofacial Technology (30 credits)
- Maxillofacial and Craniofacial Technology Part 3: Clinical (60 credits)
- Maxillofacial and Craniofacial Technology Part 4: Research (60 credits)
Teaching methods - what to expect
Students are exposed to multiple teaching styles which include consultant-led clinics, chair-side guidance, small group work and close mentoring, with emphasis on the importance of evidence base in the literature. Instruction is consistent with the demands of the IMPT Curriculum for Maxillofacial Prosthodontics and recognises how this interrelates with other rehabilitation skills.
The following table will give you an idea of what a typical year might look like as you progress through your studies:
| Year | Lectures, seminars and feedback (hours) | Self-study/research (hours) | Supervised clinical practice (hours) |
| Year 1 | 441 | 160 | 294 |
| Year 2 | 147 | 300 | 441 |
Typically, one credit equates to 10 hours of work.
Assessment
- Written assignment
- Clinical Assessment
- Oral examinations
- Clinical Portfolios
Two modules are assessed by unseen written paper. The clinical module is assessed by a combination of clinical examination, oral examination and clinical and technical logs. The research module is assessed by a project and an oral examination. The study time and assessment methods detailed are typical and give you a good indication of what to expect. However, they may change if the course modules change.
