The study of dentistry at the University of Zurich is a five-year, full-time program, which is divided into three years of bachelor’s degree followed by two years of master’s degree. After passing the Numerus Clausus exam, the first two years of the program begin, also known as pre-clinical studies. These take place on the Irchel campus of the University of Zurich, together with students studying human medicine. During this time, students receive comprehensive training in natural and social sciences, which provides a solid foundation for the rest of the program. The following three years are focused on clinical studies and take place at the Center for Dental Medicine (ZZM) at the University of Zurich. Here, students learn the theoretical knowledge and practical clinical skills necessary for the dental practice. The program is modular and takes into account the latest scientific methods and interdisciplinary insights, so that students receive a contemporary education.
