How the UMFST Dentistry interview route works

The 2026 methodology says admission covers personal-statement assessment, previous-activity assessment and an online interview. Candidates are ranked in descending order of scores and in the order of application.

Personal statement

UMFST asks for a one-page statement about motivation, medical plans, readiness and relevant extracurricular activity.

Previous activity

High school grades and proven extracurricular activities are assessed according to the university grid.

Online interview

The interview evaluates compatibility with the medical or dental profession and language skills for the English-taught programme.

For Medimentor positioning, this is a file-and-interview route. Strong Biology and Chemistry still matter for dental-school readiness and backup choices, but this page should not imply that UMFST Dentistry has a written subject entrance exam for the 2026 international route.

Tuition fees and budget

UMFST lists the 2026/27 tuition fee for newly enrolled Dental Medicine international students at EUR 10,000 per academic year. In case of admission or conditional admission, the deposit is EUR 5,000, deducted from first-year tuition and marked as non-refundable.

Curriculum and dental training profile

The Dental Medicine in English programme page describes a full-time, six-year route ending with the title Doctor of dental medicine. It also links current curriculum documents and describes a training environment built around dental simulation, imaging, laboratories and supervised clinical activity.

Six-year Dentistry route

The official programme page lists Dental Medicine in English as 6 years, 12 semesters and 360 ECTS.

Dental skills focus

The programme describes competences in diagnosis, conservative treatment, orthodontics, prosthetics and oral surgery.

Capacity context

Recognition caveat

The page says the title is Doctor of dental medicine; professional licensing still depends on the country where the graduate wants to work.
