Online theoretical lessons and hands-on activities at the University of Siena

The master in Prosthodontics and New Technologies is going to start with a new edition. All theoretical lessons will be streamed online.

This master is a part-time master (we call it executive master here in Italy). 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 8/9 weekends of online lessons throughout 2 years (approx. one weekend every 2 months). 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 in presence and join the hands-on part of the course. Once in 2022 and once in 2023. The first online lesson will take place in January or February 2022.

Educational System in Italy

In Italy, we don’t differentiate as other Universities do abroad. We divide in “Undergraduate” (requires 180 credits), “Graduate” (requires 120 credits), “Post Graduate” (PhDs) and “Specialising Masters and Continuing Education”.
One of the most frequent differences here between Graduate programs and Masters is the fact Masters don’t usually give university credits, whilst Graduate programs do. Abroad, an MSc typically is recognised as our equivalent of a Graduate program.
Prosthodontics and New Technologies is, indeed, a Master Degree, but one that falls under the minority category of “University Masters”, meaning that at the end of the program you will have gained 120 university credits. The equivalent required for the foreign MSc.
First level masters can be obtained by both students with Undergraduate or Graduate degrees, whilst second level masters can only be attended and obtained by students that already qualify with 300+ university credits (as it is the case for Graduate degrees and/or Medical degrees).
The Masters the University of Siena issues all abide by the directions and all are recognised as such by and throughout the European Union. If you aim at using the title outside the EU, we suggest you check with the local Embassy about its validity.
The wording of your final degree will be something like:
“It is hereby certified that MARIO ROSSI born in ITALY obtained on 23/03/2024 the first/second-level master’s degree in
PROSTHODONTICS AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES established for the academic year 2021/2022 With the grade of…
Issued by the University of Siena.”
