About the program
This program is designed to unify the basic and clinical sciences, as it is believed that scientific and professional development cannot be separated but should proceed concurrently throughout the program. Throughout the basic module – the first two years - students are taught basic sciences, all the while starting to meet patients during their summer practice. The preclinical module – the third year - prepares students for the clinical patient care by focusing on mastering the manual skills that will be applied later on. The clinical module – the last two years of the program – is dedicated to the intensive clinical study of each of the various disciplines of dentistry, where students treat real patients under close supervision of their tutors.
The Faculty of Dentistry is the regional centre established for dental care in the southeastern region of Hungary. The graduates of the University are entitled to apply for hospital residency positions worldwide. Citizens of the EU will receive their licenses automatically within the Community.
