Extraordinary adaptation of the teaching guide due to COVID-19

Theoric programme

We will analyse and critically discuss classic and modern literature through seminars on the following topics:

The University Master's Degree in Research in Dentistry at UIC Barcelona is structured into 60 ECTS over one academic year, during which time students will acquire the skills required for clinical and basic research applied to Dentistry and other Health Sciences. In addition, students will take an in-depth look at concepts related to their Final Master's Degree Project (TFM) (Protocol, TFM I and TFM II), to achieve greater specialisation in applied basic and clinical research.

As this is a blended learning course, students will may follow the theory classes and take part in various activities via the online platform. Lectures that have a practical element and the final oral presentation of the TFM will be condensed into two weeks (second and third week of July). This is when students will be required to present their research projects. The main language of communication will be English (80% English, 20% Spanish): all lectures will be in English, and the 20% in Spanish corresponds to e-mail communication between mentors and students while developing the Protocol and TFM, if the mentor prefers to use this language.

The Master's programme is divided into three modules:

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: The 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.

The evaluation of this Master will be based on continuous assessment in all subjects, resolution of cases and the final exam. In all subjects, students must present the exercises, cases and work carried out to the tutor to make this evaluation.
 
Students will work independently for approximately 300 hours/semester.
 
Lectures will be given online using the Moodle platform, version 3.4. This platform, which is used at a large number of national, European and international universities, provides the necessary tools to make the most of online learning. Some of the most relevant tools and services of the Moodle 3.4 platform are:
  • Tutors may post subject content so that students can watch and listen to it as many times as necessary in a given period, and according to the characteristics of each subject (difficulty, number of ECTS credits, etc.).
  • Notes and documents may be posted for students with a password, which will be linked to the academic access codes once the student has completed the enrolment process.
  • Student participation may be tracked and objectively assessed for each subject under evaluation. This represents 10% of the final evaluation.
  • Participants may engage in debate and discussion on issues raised by the tutor through discussion forums.
  • Students may communicate via chat, and information will be updated in real time.
  • Videos may be streamed on the platform to give students a channel for audiovisual and dynamic learning.
  • The language of communication between teachers and students may be pre-established, in which case the student cannot choose the language based on their preferences. In this case, the language of the platform is English.
Faculty of Dentistry Research Lines 
The official research lines of the UIC Barcelona Faculty of Dentistry are indicative of the importance of training dentists who have research skills and know how to use scientific methodology. The master's students will acquire the knowledge and methodology necessary to take part in any research project.
 
Each student will be asked to state their research areas of interest, and a topic and mentor will be assigned by the master's programme management and coordination team.
