Limited Places

The Bachelor's Degree in Dentistry at UIC Barcelona will help you become a future professional who is capable of using good judgement and technical skill to prevent, treat and rehabilitate oral and dental disease. The solid academic education we provide is complemented by intensive hands-on training in the University Dental Clinic right from year one.

The programme provides knowledge of the structure and function of the oral cavity and teeth, the biomechanics of a normal and pathological dental apparatus and the most innovative techniques and procedures for treating these conditions.

Our curriculum places particular emphasis on basic sciences. We believe that, in order to achieve a solid scientific education, you must face practical challenges before graduation. Our University Dental Clinic is equipped with the cutting-edge technology required in 21st-century dentistry.

Objectives

Our education is target-based. The Bachelor's Degree in Dentistry will provide:

  1. The ability to appreciate the need for professional development and continuing education.
  2. The ability to efficiently use advances in knowledge and technology.
  3. The values necessary for understanding the patient's central role in the therapeutic decision-making process.

Who is it intended for? Prospective students

If you have a calling to serve society in the area of health and science, this could be the right profession for you. We do, however, recommend that prospective students have a background in health sciences.

At UIC Barcelona, we work to enhance the following abilities:

  • Discipline, memory and dedication
  • Quick decision-making skills
  • Psychological skills and empathy
  • Emotional balance
  • An interest in research
  • Responsibility and observation
  • Teamwork
  • Empathy towards other people's pain
  • Resilience

Competences: Graduates

By the time you finish your degree you will have acquired the competences necessary to work as a dentist.

Diagnosis and treatment planning
As a dentist you must be competent when it comes to making decisions, providing rationale and performing clinical trials aimed at developing a provisional or confirmed diagnosis of the disease, including the interpretation of the patient's clinical records and data from clinical examinations, X-rays or any other diagnostic test.

Achieving and maintaining good oral health
