PRIOR TO STARTING THE COURSE

Prior to starting the course, it is essential that you obtain employment as a trainee within

a dental laboratory. You must negotiate with your employer in order to agree a work

place mentor. The purpose of selecting a mentor is to make the work based learning

modules as successful as possible. Cardiff Met is able to offer 6 hours verified Continual

Professional Development per year to mentors for their role during the year.

MODE OF ATTENDANCE

The FdSc programme is offered to students with Cardiff Met-supported work based

learning and a requirement to attend Cardiff Met no more than 5 times per academic

year. However, a commitment of at least 6 hours per week during term is required.

There must also be a designated work based mentor who is a colleague and who will

advise students. The practical and theoretical exercises students are required to complete

will be given at the start of term and at other points throughout the year. Video

conferencing will take place each week and other electronic technologies will form a

central core of the delivery. Students will undertake OSPEs (Observed Short Practical

Excercies) and written exams at Cardiff Metropolitan University.

NECESSARY EQUIPMENT

EQUIPMENT NEEDED TO COMPLETE PRACTICAL ASSIGNMENTS AWAY FROM

CARDIFF METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY FOR THE FULL FdSc

NOTE: Not all laboratories are expected to have all the equipment to cover the main

fields of dental technology covered in the programme. These include removable

prosthodontics, fixed prosthodontics and orthodontics. Where specialist equipment is

not available at the home laboratory, arrangments are suggested to be made by the

employer for the trainee to spend periods at other (specialist) laboratories near the place

of work or arrangements to attend Cardiff Met are a possibility.

Successful completion of this programme will lead to the award of Foundation Degree

(Science) Dental Technology. This will appear on the awarded certificate at graduation

as

FdSc Dental Technology

The Foundation (FdSc) programme will enable successful students to register with the

General Dental Council as a Dental Technologist. The law requires anyone who practices

as a dental technologist to register with the GDC. The programme meets all learning

outcomes laid down by the General Dental Council.

GDC registered personnel are expected to be able to conduct themselves well on all

occasions. Lapses may result in removal from the register. Students must also be

considered fit to practise dentistry and any causes of concern may be investigated by a

fitness to practise panel and could result in exclusion from the register even before the

programme has been completed. See the GDC document ‘Student Fitness to Practice’

available from the GDC website or at

http://www.gdc-

uk.org/Newsandpublications/Publications/Publications/StudentFtPApril10web_260310[

1].pdf

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

The programme is modular based and aims to produce dental technologists who are

technically competent and academically capable. Upon qualification, students should

have a broad understanding of dental technology and be able to relate to different areas

of dental technology. They should be able to communicate well, use independent and

critical self-awareness and successfully act as a member of the dental team.

Postgraduate qualifications can be obtained upon successful completion of the BSc and

on an individual application basis.

MODULE STRUCTURES

Students undertaking the FdSc Course require 24 module values (each with a 10 credit

value) for successful completion of the course. A ten credit module comprises of at least

100 hours student effort.

The FdSc part-time course normally takes 3 years.

There are 120 module credits at Level 4 and 120 module credits at Level 5.

Core modules need to have each assessment item within the module passed at 40%.

Other modules require an overall pass mark of 40% only. More information regarding

core modules can be found under “Assessment Regulations” (page 8).

GRADING

The pass mark for any assessment item of a module, and the module overall is 40%.

Individual assessment items in modules which are not core may be allowed to drop

below a score of 40 as long as the overall module score is 40% (compensation / averaging

marks by the Examinations Board).

All assessment items during the course will be awarded marks as a percentage (%).

Where practical modules require a number of individual items to be submitted, they

often carry different values towards the overall module mark. This information will be

available to the student in the relevant Module Handbook, which is normally discussed

at the start of each module and is always available within the relevant Moodle module

folder.

ASSESSMENT

Each module in the programme is assessed according to a particular mode of assessment.

There are essentially five types of assessment used throughout the Course:

1. Written Formal Examinations.

2. Practical Assignments.

3. Timed Practical Examinations.

Page 8: CARDIFF SCHOOL OF HEALTH SCIENCES FOUNDATION DEGREE ... · Students undertaking the FdSc Course require 24 module values (each with a 10 credit value) for successful completion of

4. Written Assignments.

5. Oral Presentations.

GENERAL ADVICE

Students are required to attend all scheduled lectures, practical sessions and other

classes.

During OSPEs laboratory coats must be worn and, where appropriate, other personal

protective gear. You will receive advice from lecturers regarding the use of such

equipment.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT

Personal Tutor System:

Personal tutors are allocated at the beginning of each academic year and there will be

opportunities during your timetable for personal tutor sessions. During these sessions

you may discuss what action should be taken to remedy any tests or assignments which

have not met the required standard. They are also an opportunity for students to bring

with them any pieces of work, which they feel they are having problems/difficulties with

and to discuss them with their tutor. They are designed to encourage and help the

student overcome any problems that they may be experiencing with this work or topic

area.

The dental technology teaching staff operates an “open door” policy and as such,

students are welcome to discuss any topic, with any member of staff, at almost any time

during the teaching day. Staff members are contactable by phone or email, or with pre-

arrangements through Adobe Connect meetings.

ASSESSMENT REGULATIONS

The Cardiff Met regulations can be found in the Academic Handbook, a copy of which

is available here:

www.cardiffmet.ac.uk/studenthandbook

In addition to these, there are Course Specific regulations and these are as follows:

Each element of assessment must be passed with a mark of at least 40% or be

compensated (averaging marks) for by the mark(s) in other elements of assessment.

All components in core modules must be passed with the minimum pass percentage

(40%) and a maximum of 5% compensation is possible by the Examinations Board. A

maximum of two resits are allowed. The progression of students who have not

successfully completed normal scheduled modules is considered at the Examinations

Board.

Many part time students find that they are able and wish to continue working at their

place of employment following completion of their initial training. In general,

employment prospects are currently good. Successful students can be employed in NHS

establishments, commercial laboratories, private practices or university dental schools.

In the most recent UK wide Research Excellence Framework, (REF) 2014, 74% of our

research was rated as internationally excellent or world leading. This contributed to the

University’s position as top new university in the UK for research quality.

We have invested heavily in our research infrastructure with new research laboratories

for biomedical science and food science and technology, a psychology research centre,

health assessment suite and a post-graduate centre for our PhD students, who now

number over 60 with strong research groups in Biomedical Science, Environmental

Health, Food Science & Technology and Psychology with a growing number of

practitioner PhDs in Dietetics, Podiatry and Speech and Language Therapy.

Our great strength is our multidisciplinary, collaborative approach and we produce

world-class applied research that informs practice in Wales and beyond. For example,

our work on exercise, diabetes, and healthy ageing includes collaborations between

biomedical science, psychology and physiologists to better understand the complex

relationships between lifestyle the ageing process and illness associated with ageing;

extending our knowledge in this critically important area and influencing healthy ageing

initiatives. Recent research grants awarded in this area include Welsh Government

funded work on growing a healthy older population in Wales looking at the influence of

gardening and allotment keeping on healthy aging and a large European funded study,

Frailomics, examining biomarkers of frailty, an important indicator of health in the older

population.

Research across the School is extensive and varied. For more information on our research

please visit www.cardiffmet.ac.uk/cshs and follow the link to research.

Working with Partners

We are proud of our work with local communities, employers and industry in Wales and

beyond. From developing homework clubs on science with black and minority ethnic

communities in Cardiff to working with the pharmaceutical industry on drug discovery

methods, we make a significant contribution to the social, cultural and economic well-

being of Wales and the UK. We work in partnership with the Cardiff and Vale University

Hospital Board to deliver key collaborative projects including running NHS Podiatry

Clinics in our own Wales Centre for Podiatric Studies, improving patient care and clinical

education for our students.

The internationally recognized Food Industry Centre based in the School is supported by

the Welsh Government to engage with Welsh food manufacturers to ensure they are

competitive players in the food sector. To date this has led to the development of over

100 jobs in the industry and benefitted our students with opportunities for work

placements, industry projects and innovative employment in the food industry.

We work closely with industry on waste, pollution and occupational health and safety,

and host one of the specialist chemical centres of Public Health England’s Centre for

Radiation, Chemical and Environmental Hazards and the World Health Organisation

Collaborating Centre for Public Health Management of Chemical Incidents. Staff from

the School contribute to the work of a new Cardiff Met International Training Centre

announced by the World Health Organisation in May 2011 in Thailand and officially

launched here in April 2012.

Our role in providing lifelong learning opportunities through Continuing Personal and

Professional Development is important and we have excellent relationships with

employers providing a host of CPD opportunities across the School’s disciplines.

We have strong links with local authorities and the third sector, providing post
