The course consists of 5 years (10 semesters) of pre-clinical and clinical studies. It 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 programme.

The first two years are called the Basic module, when students are taught basic sciences – medical and dental courses – which are the foundation of clinical dentistry.

In the Pre-clinical module in the third academic year, students become more familiar with the intensive clinical study of the disciplines of dentistry.

During the Clinical module in the last two years the emphasis is put on the assessment and management of patients. Furthermore, in this final module students participate in elective programs, clinical conferences and hospital based practices. After the successful completion of the programme, students are awarded the title Doctor of Dentistry.
