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.

AWARD TITLE AND PROFESSIONAL BODY MEMBERSHIP
6
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.
8
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.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
9
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.

Research in the Cardiff School of Health Sciences
The Cardiff School of Health Sciences has a strong research culture; informing your
curriculum and teaching and extending knowledge and evidence base for professional
practice development.
12
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.
13
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
qualification training for Social Workers, Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
in health and social care and working closely with housing associations, including a
recent Knowledge Transfer Partnership with a major local supported-housing
organisation.
Our strong links with partners is key to our ability to provide you with relevant work
experience placements critical to your professional development and employabil
