The interviews will be held face-to-face on dates that will be confirmed once the previous steps of the process have been completed.

New communication technologies have made it possible to communicate at a distance with an ease that was unthinkable until very recently. Use of these resources means that a large part of the training involved in postgraduate education can be carried out at a distance, without the need for being present in person.

This course allows access to the highest level of postgraduate training for students who are not able to attend university for two years in person, but who are able to invest the time and dedication necessary to achieve the objectives of the programme.

The nature of dentistry does however require a minimum level of attendance at UIC Barcelona, which is organised personally for each student in order to cause the minimum level of disruption to their family and/or working life.

Studying on this programme requires a minimum of six  hours per week, in addition to working time over the weekend. Students will communicate via a videoconference call over the Collaborate platform, and sessions with the teaching staff will be held twice a week in the form of a seminar.  

• Graduate degree in Dentistry.
• B1 level or similar in Spanish, which will be assessed in the personal interview.
   

To start the admission process you must complete the Program Admission Form found on the University website and follow the steps to attach the following required documentation:

• Bachelor's Degree or Bachelor's Degree*.

Many patients who require dental treatment are older people with systemic illnesses, which calls for accurate knowledge of the implications and interactions of these pathologies with dental health and care. These could include cardiovascular, immunological, endocrine or metabolic pathologies that must be known by the dentist in order to correctly carry out treatment in a way that is safe for both them and the patient. Furthermore, people with disabilities present complex and difficult challenges for the profession. In addition, the use of certain medications and drug interactions can lead to oral lesions, or appear as oral manifestations of underlying systemic diseases. We consider all these patients as special patients.

At present, academic learning in terms of bachelor's degree studies are limited to purely theoretical concepts and limited clinical practice with low-risk older patients. Patients that are significantly medically compromised, patients with mental disabilities and non-cooperative patients generate a pathology that bachelor’s degree students, given their lack of experience, are not able to handle easily. The techniques, materials and procedures for these patients are substantially different. They are not covered in conventional programmes and open up possibilities for further research. The recommendations by the Council of European Dentists, published in its directive of 19 November 2010, recommend the inclusion of Gerodontology in university curricula and agree with the European College of Gerodontology on the need to promote postgraduate education and lines of research in the field.

Are there master's degrees available internationally? There is no specific master's degree on Gerodontology in Spain and there is only one master's degree in Hospital Dentistry and Special Patients in Valencia and another in Seville, a master's degree at the University of Santiago on patients with systemic pathologies and an expert's degree in hospital dentistry and special patients in Oviedo.

Therefore, the shortage of trained professionals in this field and the demand coming from specialised centres and hospitals can only be addressed by master's degrees with these characteristics.

To start the admission process you must complete the Program Admission Form found on the University website and follow the steps to attach the required documentation.

The Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC) seeks to facilitate the incorporation and adaptation of all new students by means of a welcoming session organised by the University Master’s Degree in Research in Dentistry, the information on which is sent by letter or by e-mail, in a personalised way.

During the welcoming session, the new students will receive a general description of the UIC, and a representative from some Services, shall offer a brief explanation about the workings of the Service and the type of information and activities that students will find there. The session will be followed by an academic presentation of the Master’s programme by the actual Programme Management, the idea being one of providing an acquaintance with the facilities and services of the Faculty and the Department.
 

Materials for the newly-accessed students:

1. UIC folders. The folders will contain the timetables of the  University Master’s Degree in Research in Dentistry, the UIC Diary for the academic year starting then and a Welcome Pack.
2. Students will be sent to the e-mail address they provided when enrolling, their username and password to access their personal page. An UIC e-mail account will automatically be generated too.
3. Student card. The Universitat Internacional de Catalunya’s student card identifies its holder as a member of the UIC university community, certifies the condition of beneficiary of the university services, premises and facilities, and allows the use, in an automated way, of the library loan services from the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya’s library network.

The means by which the said documentation and information is provided to the students of the Master’s degree can vary in the format according to existing resources at the time.
