4 M.D. Programs in Dental Sciences in Europe for 2024

The Medical University of Warsaw offers a 5-year Dental Program to High School graduates. The program adapted to the EU standards provides more than 5000 hours of instruction and 300 ECTS.

The curriculum of the five-year program (10 semesters) is designed to unify the basic and clinical sciences, as it is believed that scientific and professional development cannot be sharply separated but should proceed concurrently throughout the program. In the basic module of the first two years, the students are taught basic sciences – medical and dental courses – which constitute the foundation of clinical dentistry.

The education of students in dental medicine is organized in three stages with duration of five years and six months as pre-graduate internship. During the first two years students receive medicobiological training. The clinical and medical training is realized from the second to the tenth semester and includes education in general medical and specialized dental medicine disciplines. The teaching is carried out by 8 departments. The pre-diploma internship includes Pediatric Dental Medicine, Conservative Dental Medicine, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery,, Prosthetic Dental Medicine, Periodontology and Orthodontics, and ends with state examinations. Students who pass them successfully are awarded the qualification of a Doctor in Dental Medicine and a Master’s degree.

The Medical University of Lublin offers a Dentistry Degree program that meets national and EU standards and dental education requirements. The DDS degree earned at the Medical University of Lublin entitles alumni to apply for a dental license to practice dentistry worldwide.
