Program Overview
The Master of Science (M.Sc) in Orthodontics at Cyprus Health & Social Sciences University is a 2-year, on-campus program offered by the Faculty of Dentistry. This non-thesis graduate program is designed for dental professionals seeking advanced clinical and theoretical training in orthodontic diagnosis, treatment planning, and appliance therapy. Located in Güzelyurt, North Cyprus, the program combines rigorous academic coursework with practical clinical experience, preparing graduates for specialist practice in orthodontics.
What You'll Study
The curriculum covers the full scope of orthodontic science and clinical practice. Core areas include:
- Craniofacial growth and development
- Biomechanics of tooth movement
- Orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning
- Fixed and removable appliance techniques
- Interceptive orthodontics
- Management of malocclusions and dentofacial anomalies
- Evidence-based orthodontic research methods
Students engage in supervised clinical sessions, case analyses, and seminars. The program emphasizes hands-on training with modern orthodontic materials and technologies. As a non-thesis track, the program culminates in a comprehensive clinical project or portfolio rather than a research thesis.
Career Outlook
Graduates of the M.Sc in Orthodontics are prepared for careers as specialist orthodontists in private practice, hospital dental departments, or academic institutions. The degree also provides a foundation for further specialization or doctoral studies in orthodontics. With the increasing global demand for orthodontic care, particularly in esthetic and functional correction, qualified orthodontists have strong employment prospects in both clinical and research settings.

Applicants must hold a recognized Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) or equivalent degree. Proficiency in English is required, as instruction is delivered in English. Specific admission requirements and application deadlines are available from the university's admissions office. International students should also verify visa and residency requirements for studying in North Cyprus.
