Dentistry programme in English at Universidad Europea de Madrid

 

UEM offers a five-year degree in Dentistry leading to the title of Título Oficial de Grado en Odontologia (equivalent to the UK BDS). The qualification is recognised throughout the European Union and beyond. In accordance with European standards in higher education, the five-year dentistry programme consists of 300 ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System).

The programme is taught in English throughout all five years. Students will need to know Spanish in order to work with patients and will be required to have achieved B2 level by the beginning of their third year.

Applications in 2024

The application process for September 2024 is currently open. Please contact us if you want to apply for this year or if you would like to take the foundation year. This webinar recording from June 2020 gives lots of information about the application process and other aspects of studying dentistry at UEM. However, it is a little out of date in some respects.

Entry Requirements for Dentistry

You need to have 3 A levels to apply. Access to HE qualifications and BTECs are not recognised in Spain. In the past, it was possible for students with poorer A level performance to gain a place at UEM but those days are gone. This is now probably the hardest university to get into in Spain. We expect you would need around at least AAB to include biology and chemistry. Predicted grades are admissable as long as you have proof from your school or college.

If you don't meet the entry requirements, UEM also offers a foundation course in the health sciences. If you successfully complete this one-year course, you will be eligible for first-year entry into dentistry in the following year with around 30 ECTS recognised (ie. roughly half an academic year). This will be the most suitable option for you if you have A' levels of below BBB.

Transfers from other Dental Schools

Transfers have only been possible in one of the last seven years or so. These are extremely rare but are occasionally available. We have no indication of the possibility of transfers in 2024.

It is not possible to apply for a first-year place and then request a transfer later in the year. If transfer places should open up (and there is no guarantee or likelihood that they will) you will be excluded from applying if you already have a first-year offer.

The Application Process for UEM Dentistry 2024

You can request an application form from us. Once this is complete and you have provided us with your full academic history, we will contact the university to discuss your application.

There is no entrance exam for dentistry but there are language assessment tests and a psychometric test that form part of the application process.

Applicants will be evaluated according to their high school diploma (80%), English language ability (10% - not tested for native speakers) and Spanish language ability (10%). It is possible to get an offer without speaking any Spanish but for marginal candidates, it could have an impact. This is the first year in which language ability has been used for selection purposes so we are not yet completely clear on how it will affect your chances.

Once a month, from December onwards, there is a selection day. All completed applications will be considered on that day and offers made. If you are not successful you will be added to the waiting list or potentially offered a place in the foundation year.

All offers must be confirmed by paying a deposit within 48 hours. Offers are unconditional, meaning that your final A' level grades are not important as long as you pass.

You can apply directly to UEM if you so desire but it will work out more expensive than applying through A Star Future. This might sound unlikely but it is true.

If you have already applied through UEM directly and you find yourself getting stuck, please do not contact us for assistance. It will not be possible to help you.
