The MSc Dental Science (Thesis) is a 45 credit program. This includes required courses (6 credits), complementary courses (6-15 credits), and thesis courses (24-33 credits). Students are encouraged to spread required and complementary courses evenly throughout the first year of the program. In the second year, students complete their thesis research credits, conduct research, and write their thesis. Consult the Typical Program Progression听for more details.
All students must complete a mandatory Academic Integrity Tutorial by the end of their first semester. The Tutorial can be accessed through the student menu in Minerva. If students do not complete the tutorial, they will not be able to register for the following term.
Students are eligible to fast-track to the PhD Program after completing a minimum of two full-time terms and a maximum of four full-time terms. The best time to fast track is in the Fall semester.

Course Failure Policy
A student will be withdrawn from 海角社区 if they:
- fail two courses (i.e., two different courses, one failed course plus a failed repeat of the same course or one failed course and a failed supplemental exam for that course); or
- fail one course, obtain one unsatisfactory Graduate Student Research Progress Tracking Report,听and the academic unit in which the student is registered recommends that they be withdrawn.
The student鈥檚 transcript will indicate that the student was withdrawn from 海角社区. A student who is withdrawn according to this policy cannot apply for readmission to the program from which they were withdrawn.
