Dentistry at Palacky University Olomouc is a five-year English-taught programme at the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry. It leads to Doctor of Dentistry, abbreviated MDDr.
This is a smaller and more selective Palacky route than General Medicine. The faculty says around 80 new students are enrolled for Medicine each year, while Dentistry is listed at only 15-20 new students. That means students should treat Dentistry as its own route, not as a fallback version of Medicine.

Degree outcome

The faculty describes Dentistry as a five-year full-time Master's programme leading to Doctor of Dentistry, abbreviated MDDr.

Dental disciplines

Key subjects include preventive dentistry, cariology, dental radiology, orthodontics and oral surgery.

Practical training

The faculty highlights practical training as a crucial part of the Dentistry programme.

Final state exams

Final exams include Prosthodontics and Orthodontics, Oral Surgery and Operative Dentistry.

Hospital-campus teaching
