Dentistry program overview

Best fit

Applicants who want Medicine or Dentistry in English, prefer a practical interview plus science-quiz admission model, and like the idea of a mid-sized Polish student city rather than the largest capital-city setting.

Degree outcome

The listed outcome is Doctor of Dental Surgery after 5 years. Always confirm the final title and transcript wording on the official university page.

Recognition note

The degree is issued in Poland. Licensing still depends on the country where you want to work after graduation.

Watch out for

Do not treat the old Pharmacy mentions as a current application option without checking PUMS directly. For Medicine and Dentistry, the entrance exam has both a written science quiz and an oral interview, so students need topic knowledge and clear spoken explanations.

Poznan is a large but manageable student city with strong public transport and a lower-pressure feel than Warsaw. PUMS lists four dormitories for English-program students, monthly dormitory fees from 1,500 to 3,200 PLN, a medical simulation center, clinical hospitals and student support through CMEE.
