The training provided at the University and at the Hospital by a teaching staff of national and international reference allows us to prepare professionals who can easily insert themselves in the labor market and achieve outstanding positions in the best post-graduate courses in Portugal and abroad.
The training of dentists in the European Union complies with the respective standards of Directive No. 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 September 2005, as changed by Directive No. 2013/55/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 November 2013, of which the full time, in-person training in dentistry is mandatory.
