I have just had a look at the latest copy of Vital, and I see that the new BSc Oral Health Sciences programme which becomes available in Edinburgh in September 2009 was not included in the course directory (Vital summer 2009 pages 40-43). All information is available on the University of Edinburgh website http://www.ed.ac.uk. It is a really exciting venture as it is the first four year Honours programme in the UK! The diploma course is still running at present, but this will cease once the degree is up and running.

Ed's note: For more information on the BSc Oral Health Sciences degree at Edinburgh write to Edinburgh Postgraduate Dental Institute (SRA), 4th Floor, Lauriston Building, Lauriston Place, Edinburgh, EH3 9HA or telephone 0131 536 4965.boxed-text
