University master's degree in research in dentistry

Module 1: Evidence-based methodology

• This module consists of obligatory subjects with scientific content and methodologies.
• Students will acquire a statistical basis for appropriate experiment design, learn to systematically search for scientific information, learn about the phases of research and about the presentation and communication of scientific results.
• This module will prepare students to deal with issues related to human research, the animal testing laboratory and ethical practices, while ensuring regulatory compliance.
• In addition, students will learn how to manage human and material resources for research and the transfer of knowledge to industry.

Module 2: Research tools in dentistry

• This module consists of two obligatory subjects. It will provide the basis for the Final Master’s Project in a line of work established by the Faculty of Dentistry. Students will take a more in-depth look at clinical concepts of molecular biology, regenerative medicine or materials relating to this area of knowledge.
• In addition to receiving comprehensive training in the area of research, it is important that the students attend and actively participate in scientific conferences in their field of interest to encourage the transfer of knowledge to the rest of the scientific community.

Module 3: Final Master's Degree Project

• This module integrates and evaluates most of the skills and competencies necessary to develop research and continue onto a doctoral programme.
• Students will, under the guidance of a tutor, design a research project leading to a final project, through which they will develop methodological skills that will enable them to carry out the practical part of the research, draw up the research report and present the results of the final project.
• In addition, the tutor will ensure the student carries out the research in accordance with the guidelines of the Scientific Commission and the Ethics Committee for Clinical Research, with methodological rigour, a critical analysis of the findings and conclusions.
