The undergraduate degree in Dental Hygiene provides an adequate preparation in the basic disciplines, which allow the understanding of the most important elements concerning the pathological processes that can be found in developmental, adult and geriatric age, on which the diagnostic intervention is focused. Of particular importance, as an integral and qualifying part of professional training, is the practical training and clinical internship activity, carried out under the supervision and guidance of specially assigned professional tutors, coordinated by a professor/lecturer belonging to the highest training level required for the professional profile.

To obtain the degree, 180 credits (ECTS) are required. As a rule, 60 ECTS are acquired each year with assessment tests both for the courses and for the other supplementary forms of teaching. An equal number of ECTS is assigned to each course for all students. The grade (expressed out of 30) varies according to the student's level of preparation. The final grade, which includes the evaluation of the final examination, is expressed in a mark out of 110.
