We place special emphasis on case planning and the approach to real clinical cases. The aim is for the student to acquire the confidence, experience and skills necessary as a dentist to treat dental pathologies of any complexity.

In addition, we are in permanent contact with leading companies in the sector to adapt the academic curriculum of each of our degrees to the needs of the market.

Admission criteria and tests:

The University establishes an access process that is synthesized in:
1. Psychopedagogical evaluation of the different aptitudes required of a university student, depending on the studies he/she has opted for and the previous knowledge necessary to successfully complete those studies.
2. Level test in the foreign language chosen by the student.
3. Didactic orientation session on the vocational option chosen by the student.
4. If necessary, personal interview with the student to clear up any doubts that may arise.
In any case, the tests established by the University are not exclusive in themselves, but rather orientative.

Number of new admission places offered:

75 places.

At the end of this degree, the graduate is a professional qualified to:

- Apply knowledge in basic biomedical and odontological sciences in an integrated manner for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of oral diseases.

- Perform clinical and technical procedures in dentistry with scientific rigour and in accordance with ethical standards and patient safety.

- Integrate digital and simulation technologies in the planning and execution of clinical-dental treatments.

- Develop effective communication skills with patients and health teams, as well as respect for health and deontological regulations.

- Incorporate research and continuous updating in their professional practice.

Participation in international mobility programmes in the Bachelor's Degree in Dentistry represents a highly valuable opportunity for the comprehensive training of the future professional.

An academic stay abroad allows students to learn about different models of oral health care, clinical protocols and preventive and therapeutic approaches applied in other health systems.

This experience favours the development of clinical and transversal skills, such as adapting to new care environments, working in multicultural teams and communicating with patients from different socio-cultural contexts.

Mobility also contributes to improving the mastery of other languages, reinforces autonomy and problem-solving skills, and provides a global vision of dental practice that increases competitiveness and employability in an increasingly internationalised professional environment.
