Dentistry

The Dentistry program is one of the key branches of the healthcare system, dedicated to preserving human health and addressing the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases of the teeth and oral cavity. Students enrolled in this program acquire not only a solid theoretical foundation in medical sciences but also extensive practical experience. They develop competencies in performing dental procedures, applying diagnostic and preventive measures, and implementing surgical methods in dental practice.

Dentistry is among the most respected and longstanding medical disciplines. In our country, highly qualified professionals in this field have been trained for over a century. Today, dental specialists work not only in clinical practice but also in research institutions, educational settings, and public health promotion initiatives. Each dentistry student ultimately becomes not only a physician but also a professional contributing to the creation of a healthy generation within society.

Program Objective
The aim of the program is to train a new generation of highly qualified professionals capable of applying modern diagnostic and treatment techniques using state-of-the-art medical equipment.

Learning Outcomes
The Dentistry program is implemented as a five-year bachelor’s degree course. Graduates who successfully complete the curriculum are awarded a diploma with the qualification Doctor of General Dentistry. The educational process follows a mentor–apprentice model, which simulates real professional medical practice. From the very first days of study, students progressively develop practical skills, gain experience in modern, well-equipped dental clinics under the guidance of leading specialists, and learn to independently receive patients under faculty supervision.
