Master's Program

The Master aims to provide the knowledge and skills to evaluate and intervene at a rehabilitative level in different contexts in the problems of maxillofacial competence both preventive and in pre and post surgery in different age groups.


Participants will be provided with

  • theoretical and practical knowledge in the area of various maxillofacial pathologies and their therapeutic approach.
  • skills for the administration of evaluation and rehabilitation protocols.
  • methodological knowledge that allows the development of skills to participate in team work in different professional and research contexts.


This Master recognizes English as an official language since many lessons will be in English to allow the participation of students not only of Italian language, for the presence of teachers of various nationalities and in front of events and internships based abroad. A minimum knowledge of the English language is therefore recommended for a more complete use of the master.

Translations into Italian, Polish and Spanish will be available (subject to the needs of the participants).
