Stem Cell Biology (Basic Dental Sciences) MPhil - Fact file

Year of entry: 2013

Degree awarded: Master of Philosophy

Duration: 12 months (FT) - 24 months (PT)

Entry requirements:

Applicants will be required to provide evidence of their primary dental qualification from a recognised institution. In some circumstances, relevant research or professional experience may be acceptable in place of an academic qualification.

Course fees: For entry in the academic year beginning September 2013, the tuition fees are as follows:

• MPhil (full-time)
  UK/EU students (per annum): Standard £3,900, Low £6,700, Medium £13,000, High £18,100
  International students (per annum): Non-clinical-based £25,800; Clinical-based £38,000
• MPhil (part-time)
  UK/EU students (per annum): Standard £1,950, Low £3,350, Medium £6,500, High £9,050
  International students (per annum): Non-clinical-based £25,800; Clinical-based £38,000

Please note for the majority of projects where experimentation requires further resource: higher fee bands (where quoted) will be charged rather than the base rate for supervision, administration and computational costs. The fees quoted above will be fully inclusive and, therefore, you will not be required to pay any additional bench fees or administration costs.

All fees for entry will be subject to yearly review and incremental rises per annum are also likely over the duration of the course for UK/EU students (fees are typically fixed for International students, for the course duration at the year of entry). For general fees information please visit: postgraduate fees . Always contact the department if you are unsure which fee applies to your project.
