Drop-In Sessions

The SSO holds student drop-in sessions every Tuesday and Thursday from 12:30pm-1:30pm

Please either visit office 20, fourth floor of the Dental Hospital or email dental.sso@qmul.ac.uk at the time of the drop-in and a member of the SSO will call you on Teams within the drop-in hour.

Drop-ins are short initial meetings (about 10-15 minutes long) with the Student Support Officer.

The Student Support Drop-In sessions are for students who may not have booked an appointment but feel on the day that they could benefit from speaking to a member of the team.

They are run on a first come, first served basis and can fill up quickly, so please aim to arrive for the start of the session.

A few reasons you might attend drop in:

They can be a quick way to get an answer to a question or to get support
To get further information about our services
To be signposted to a different team
To make initial contact for a longer meeting.

If you cannot make any of the drop-in times, please get in touch as we can make other arrangements for you to speak to us (including phone and video call appointments) outside of these times.

  Intercalation is when a student takes a year out of the BDS programme to study a BSc or MSc in another subject.
  Sadly, this isn't available to BSc Oral Health students.
  The degrees provide an opportunity for in-depth study of selected biomedical technologies, health services research, and biomedical, and social sciences. They are aimed at those medical, dental or veterinary students wishing to undertake a year of research-orientated study.
  Students will develop:
  In-depth knowledge of defined areas of the science that underpins modern medicine
  Skills of critical evaluation in relation to relevant biomedical literature and data
  The ability to communicate scientific information in a variety of formats
  Research skills enabling design, execution, interpretation and reporting of experiments in an area of biomedical or social science.
  Students can apply to study at QMUL or at another university.
  Please keep an eye on deadlines - they are usually in the early part of the calendar year.
