THIS MASTER PROGRAM IS FULL
Online theoretical lessons and hands-on activities at the University of Siena to become capable of performing all prosthodontic techniques, both conventionally and digitally.
The master in Prosthodontics and new technologies is going to start with a new edition again. It was born as an agreement between Dentalnecto and the University of Siena, just as the last year. This year, due to the covid-19 pandemic all theoretical lessons will be streamed online.
This master is a part-time master. It was born for those colleagues who want to keep studying but can’t be abroad for months or years. In fact, there will be 10 weekends of online lessons throughout 2 years (approx. one weekend every 2 months). In any case, all enrolled students must be present at the University of Siena for a couple of single full teaching weeks (4 days) in order to attend the hands-on part of the course.
At the end the students will receive the academic title of Master of Science. The title will be issued by the University of Siena.

The degree in Dentistry or equipollent degree is required
• Documents needed: the degree above-mentioned; a resume (cv); a copy of your passport

Dentalnecto will guarantee administrative and communication support with the university. It will also guarantee updates on teaching and will take care of communication and the technical part related to online lessons.
The total cost will be 6.000€ excl. taxes. And it won’t include the expenses related to your stay in Siena (Italy) for the hands-on classes.
The call for applications is open and it will be possible to enroll within the end of October 2020. The students will be asked to deposit a small amount of money to reserve their seat.
