Master Peripheral Nervous System Disorders
2nd level vocational master
A.Y. 2022/2023
Study area
Medicine and Healthcare
The Master's degree course aims to provide students with the latest findings on functional neuroanatomy and neurobiology of the autonomic and somatic peripheral nervous system, and the theoretical and practical elements of clinical, neurophysiological, neuroradiological and neuropathological diagnostics.
Students who complete the course will acquire:
- knowledge of neuroanatomy and neurobiology relating to the structure, development and function of the peripheral nervous system;
- theoretical and practical expertise relating to the clinical diagnostic pathway, laboratory analysis and instrumentation in pathologies of the peripheral nervous system and neuropathic pain;
- theoretical and practical expertise in pharmacological/non-pharmacological treatment, and rehabilitation in pathologies of the peripheral nervous system and neuropathic pain;
- expertise in the prognosis of pathologies of the peripheral nervous system and neuropathic pain.
All lectures on theory and practical lessons will be delivered in English.

Applications may be submitted by anyone with a single-cycle Master's Degree, as per Ministerial Decree 270/2004, in the following classes:
· LM-6 Biology;
· LM-9 Pharmaceutical, veterinary and medical biotechnologies;
· LM-41 Medicine;
or equivalent qualifications obtained at foreign universities.
Students earning a degree in the same field, provided they have earned their degree by the programme start, or no later than three months from the date the programme is set to begin. In those cases, students will be admitted on a "provisional basis"; thereafter the student must, within thirty days of earning their degree, provide a self-certification to that effect, less their admission be rescinded.
