Study Dentistry
Studying Dentistry in Europe offers the chance to earn an internationally recognized Dental Degree. With English-taught programs at some of the top universities, you’ll gain the skills needed to return to the UK and work as a dentist, while also opening doors to opportunities around the world!
Studying Dentistry in Europe
With the increasing competition for dental school places in the UK, many students are finding themselves without offers, taking gap years, or having to settle for courses they didn’t intend to pursue. If you’ve always wanted to study Dentistry but are feeling discouraged by the highly competitive entry requirements and rising tuition fees in the UK, studying in Europe could be the perfect alternative.
Europe offers an accessible, affordable pathway to earning an internationally recognized Dental Degree, with many programs taught in English. These programs not only have lower entry requirements compared to the UK, but they also provide a chance to study at dental universities without the financial strain. This is an opportunity for those truly passionate about dentistry to follow their dreams and build a future in oral healthcare.
For UK students, the qualification you earn in Europe is recognized globally, meaning you can practice in the UK, Ireland, USA, and more. These programs are specifically geared towards students who plan to return to the UK, ensuring they are well-prepared for a career in dentistry, whether in the NHS or private practice.
Studying dentistry in Europe is more than just an academic choice—it’s a chance to enrich your life and grow personally as well as professionally. It gives you the opportunity to pursue your passion and study the degree you’ve always dreamed of, even if you didn’t secure a place in the UK.
Entry requirements
Unlike the UK, where you need top A-level grades, a perfect UCAT score, and to pass a rigorous interview process, the entry requirements for dental schools in Europe are more flexible. You can often gain admission with lower A-level grades or even alternative qualifications. (Contact us for more details on specific entry criteria.)
That said, we strongly encourage our students to approach their studies with dedication and hard work. While the entry process may be less competitive, studying Dentistry is still a challenging and demanding journey. You’ll be preparing for a career in oral healthcare, so staying focused and committed to your studies is crucial for success.
Tuiton Fees
Many European dental universities offer tuition fees that are far more affordable than those in the UK! With some programs starting as low as £4,000 per year, studying Dentistry in Europe can be a cost-effective alternative. To make it even more manageable, fees are typically split into two instalments per year.
While these fees are lower, it’s important to note that they are privately paid, so you won’t be eligible for a UK government student loan. However, this affordable fee structure allows most students to fund their education independently—and means you’ll graduate without the heavy burden of substantial student debt.
