*External organisationsassociated with the

programme

Arab Society for Continuous Dental Education (ASCDE).

The programme will be delivered by the University of Dundeein Cairo, Egypt using the learning and teaching facilities of

ASCDE and with ASCDE providing a concurrent orthodontic

clinical residency programme.

Description of the

Programme

This part time 3 year masters programme provides theacademic knowledge skills and attitudes to progress in a career

in orthodontics. It is therefore aimed at qualified dentists who

wish to specialise in this area. When undertaken in

conjunction with the ASCDE three year orthodontic clinical

residency programme it aims to prepare students for success inthe Membership in Orthodontics examination of the UK Royal

Colleges.

Reason(s) for introduction

of the programme, and

planned benefits to the

University

There is unmet demand for education and training at Masters

level in the Middle East in this subject area.

ASCDE have scoped the potential market and identified a

significant cohort of potential students. A visit by theprogramme lead (Prof D Bearn) to ASCDE facilities in January

2012 also allowed the opportunity to discuss the programmewith a large group of interested potential students.

The delivery of this programme in country will build on other

Middle East initiative of the University raising its profile as a

preferred provider of healthcare graduate education across the

Middle East. This will be the first UK awarded Masters

degree in dentistry to be delivered in Egypt and if successful

could be a model for other specialties and other locations.

Once established the programme will generate an income

stream to the University and it is envisaged that a proportion of

students will continue to PhD studies in Dundee.

Research dissertations will provide publishable research

outputs, with preparation of a manuscript suitable for

submission being part of the structured assessment of the

research Module (Module 7).

*Student Recruitment

Summary Target student market: Dentists in Middle East wishing to

specialise in Orthodontics

14 per year initially, growing if sustainable demand isevident

ASCDE have provided detailed lists of potential students

who wish to undertake this programme, having previously

undertaken CPD opportunities with ASCDE.

ASCDE will provide local learning and teaching facilities,which will be supplemented through MyDundee for

academic support

UoD contact: Prof David Bearn

Course details and marketing will be via ASCDE website,

facebook groups and pages, and at ASCDE events andcourses

Reference points for

academic standards and

quality

Key benchmark for this programme is the Orthodontic

Curriculum developed by the Specialist Advisory Committee

in Orthodontics of the Royal Colleges and approved by the

General Dental Council for Specialist registration in the UK

Approach to learning,

teaching and assessment,

including any distinctive

features

The broad approach will be intensive3-4 day face-to-face in

country sessions delivered by Dundee faculty to review

previous learning and to identify new learning targets and

provide supporting tutorials and seminars. Between these

sessions students will complete coursework and self-directedlearning that will be reviewed and assessed at the followingface-to-face session. Seminar and workshop teaching

materials will be made available for review through MyDundee

Students will be concurrently on the ASCDE orthodontic

clinical residency programme which will facilitate peer to peer

support and allow opportunities for students to apply their

knowledge in a practical setting under the guidance of ASCDE

tutors.

*Open and distance

learning

See above

Employability and benefits

for graduates

There is significant demand for specialist orthodontic care

across the Middle East region, and there are currently

insufficient educational providers to deliver the necessary

programmes leading to many dentists attending full time

courses in the USA and UK.

Successful students will be able to practise as both general

dentists and specialist orthodontists, enhancing their careers

and career prospects. Suitable students who so desire will be

able to pursue their studies through PhD opportunities in

Dundee.
