Bachelor in Dentistry

Dentistry trains students in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and oral cavity. Coursework typically covers human anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, oral pathology, radiology, and clinical dentistry, including restorative procedures, periodontics, orthodontics, and oral surgery. Students progress from foundational biomedical sciences into supervised clinical practice, where they develop hands-on skills in patient examination, diagnosis, and treatment planning. Graduates typically become licensed dentists, working in private practice, dental clinics, hospitals, or public health settings, with some pursuing further specialization in fields such as orthodontics or oral and maxillofacial surgery. This bachelor program is offered at Near East University in Lefkoşa, Northern Cyprus, and instruction is conducted in English, supporting students from diverse international backgrounds. The program spans 5 years, reflecting the extended combination of theoretical study and clinical training required in dental education. Near East University's dental faculty provides access to teaching clinics where students gain direct patient care experience under supervision. Studying in Northern Cyprus offers an international academic setting for students preparing to enter the dental profession, whether locally or in other countries after meeting relevant licensing requirements.
