The general objective of the Master’s Degree in Dental Sciences is to train researchers in the field of Dentistry and Stomatology who can manage and plan successfully a group of work and carry out projects with their own and innovative ideas; researchers who will have the ability to synthesise for oral and written presentations the results of their researches, as well as they be prepared for accessing to posts as researchers in public centres or private companies. The development of the Master’s consists in a training period that will be completed with the preparation of a research project. The completion of the Master’s Degree in Dental Sciences will give access to the Doctoral Studies in Dentistry, which will be held equally in the Department of Stomatology.
