University Medical School of Pécs

Programme overview

The programme is a five-year (10-semester) Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry (D.M.D.) taught in English. The curriculum is organised to integrate basic and clinical sciences throughout the entire course so that scientific learning and professional skills develop in parallel. The intake is limited (60 places) and typical class load averages 25–30 hours per week, or about 350–420 hours per semester.

What you'll study

Study is arranged in successive modules that build from foundational science to hands-on patient care:

• Basic module (years 1–2): core medical and dental basic sciences that form the foundation for later clinical work.
• Pre-clinical module: intensive clinical study of the various dental disciplines in simulation and supervised practice prior to treating patients.
• Clinical module (final stage): greater emphasis on patient assessment and management, participation in elective programmes, clinical case conferences and hospital-based practice.
