Doctor of Dentistry Palacky University

We offer modern, practically oriented, internationally accredited courses in Dentistry. Our graduates are fully competitive physicians, scoring high in USMLE tests and securing jobs all over the world from the USA to Japan.

The curriculum of the study programme Dentistry is identical to the one pursued by Czech medical students, apart from being taught in English. It conforms to the European Union standards.

During the first three years of the programme, students have compulsory classes in the Czech language. A good grasp of Czech is required for communication with patients and with colleagues who may speak only Czech.

Degree and accreditation

At the graduation ceremony, the graduates in Dentistry are awarded the degree Doctor of Dentistry (Medicine Dentium Doctor, abbreviated as MDDr.). Graduates who are EU citizens may then practice dentistry within all countries of the European Economic Area. Graduates who are not EU citizens practice worldwide in countries where our Faculty is recognized.

The study of Dentistry is divided into theoretical subjects (Anatomy, Physiology, Histology and Embryology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biophysics), and preclinical and clinical subjects (Microbiology, Pharmacology, Pathological Physiology, Surgery, Internal Medicine, Neurology, Psychiatry).
