An application which includes the following details: bio, education history and course for which you are applying.
A copy of your secondary education results with subjects studied.
Documents from your home country confirming that you are authorised to study in Ukraine.
Two small photos of 4-5cm.

All documents need to be translated into Ukrainian to satisfy state directives.

Is Graduate Entry Offered?

Graduate entry is not allowed in Ukraine since local medical universities refuse to recognise non-Ukrainian Bachelor’s degrees; this is due to contrasts between the curriculum of the dentistry course and the foreign Bachelor’s degree. As a result, subjects completed in a BSc degree cannot be displayed on Ukrainian dental transcripts.

Is Online Study Offered?

Those wishing to study medicine at a local medical university must relocate to Ukraine because online learning is not permitted for any dentistry programmes according to Paragraph 3 of Order, No 1541 of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.

UK: The General Dental Council (GDC) specifies a minimum of 1,600 hours of clinical experience which comprise hours spent completing appropriate investigations and/or administering dental treatment and not the time spent observing dentists or assisting other dentists/dental students.
