Masters Programs
Master of Science in Dental Materials Science
The Department of Bioclinical Sciences offers a Master of Science program in Dental Materials Science. The program is a thesis-based course. The program aims to provide the student with a fundamental knowledge of the principles in justifying selection criteria of materials and lays the groundwork for more advanced study of the composition, behavior, and manipulation instructions for all classes of materials relevant to the practice of Dentistry.
Master of Science in Oral Microbiology
This program opens the way towards building up a nidus and center of Oral Microbiology in the College of Dentistry, Health Sciences Center, Kuwait University that will serve as an expertise resource locally and internationally. This program will enable to increase the knowledge level of Oral Microbiology among dentists and graduates from other biological disciplines. Advances in the understanding of oral microbiota and oral microbe-host interactions will lead to improved possibilities to reduce the burden of oral/dental diseases.
