Why study it:

Dentistry at the Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin (PUM) is a five-year (10-semester) DMD programme taught in English by the Faculty of Dentistry. It is meant for those who want a practical dental education and plan to build their career in an international setting.

Programme: from basic sciences to dental clinics

The first two years cover basic and preclinical disciplines together with an introduction to clinical sciences. The following three years focus on dental disciplines and clinical studies.

PUM uses outcome-based education: you work towards what you should know, what you can do in practice and how you act as a professional. This gives seven domains, from morphological sciences and the scientific basis of medicine, through behavioural sciences with elements of professionalism and clinical sciences in general medicine, to clinical sciences in dentistry and the legal and organisational basis of medicine.

Placements: 30 weeks of clinical training in the fifth year

The fifth year (semesters 9 and 10) is practical training in:

  • conservative dentistry, including integrated conservative dentistry
  • prosthetics and gerodentistry
  • dental surgery and maxillo-facial surgery
  • paedodontics, integrated paedodontics and orthodontics
  • periodontal and mucous membrane diseases

Languages: dentistry entirely in English

The whole programme is taught in English, which prepares you to work in an international environment, follow current developments in world dentistry and continue your education or work abroad more easily.

Exchanges: Erasmus+ studies and traineeships

As a PUM student you can apply for Erasmus+ mobility. After completing the second year of a uniform master’s programme you can spend part of your studies at a partner university abroad. Erasmus+ also covers traineeships in academic and non-academic institutions abroad, both during studies and after graduation – you can use the university’s offer or find a placement yourself. Several stays are possible, up to 24 months in total in master’s studies.

⇑Definitions and quotes

Dentistry
Dentistry is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity, commonly in the dentition but also the oral mucosa, and of adjacent and related structures and tissues, particularly in the maxillofacial (jaw and facial) area. Although primarily associated with teeth among the general public, the field of dentistry or dental medicine is not limited to teeth but includes other aspects of the craniofacial complex including the temporomandibular and other supporting structures.
Dentistry
I'm as old as my tongue and a little older than my teeth.
Jonathan Swift
Dentistry
I will be flesh and blood;
For there was never yet philosopher
That could endure the toothache patiently,
However they have writ the style of gods
And make a push at chance and sufferance.
William Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing
Dentistry
Thirty white horses on a red hill,
First they champ,
Then they stamp,
Then they stand still.
The Hobbit Ch.5, written by J.R.R. Tolkien
