After medicine, dentistry is the field Turkish students ask about most. Places are among the tightest anywhere, which makes timing even more critical.
Structure
How the programme works
Like medicine, dentistry is an integrated, long programme you apply to straight after secondary school. A large part of it is clinical practice, so places are capped by laboratory and clinic capacity.
Tight capacity means applications close early. In this field, "we'll look at the next intake" usually costs a full year.
Even on English-taught programmes, basic Lithuanian may appear in the curriculum for the clinical years.
