Dentistry programme in English at Universidad Europea de Madrid

 

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 2027

The application process for September 2027 will open shortly. Please contact us if you want to apply for this year or if you would like to take the foundation year. 

Please contact us before reaching out to the university. We are very well-placed to tell you whether an application is likely to be successful. We can promise that it is no more expensive, actually a bit cheaper, to apply through A Star Future. 

You will be in regular contact with the university throughout the application process but there are a few procedural difficulties if you are in contact with them before us. In some cases it might mean it is impossible for us to help you.

 

Entry Requirements for Dentistry

You need to have at least 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 predicted grades around at least A*AA to stand a chance. The exact entry requirements will depend on the quality of other applicants and your ability in Spanish, even though the degree is taught fully in English. In 2026 we were most successful with applicants who have 4 or more A' levels or who have Scottish Highers, International Baccaulaureate or other international diploma, although in later rounds, the requirements dropped a little. 

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 21 ECTS recognised (ie. roughly a third an academic year). This will be the most suitable option for you if you have A' levels of below BBB. However, if you sit between A*AA and BBB, it might be better to consider alternative options.

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 2027.

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 2027

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.

UEM does not make offers based on A' level grades or IB points. These need to be converted into an equivalent grade on the Spanish Bachillerato. You will need to get an Academic Technical Report to show this conversion. This costs €60 and we can put you in contact with an organisation to get this for you. This is the only upfront cost in applying through A Star Future. if you apply direct, you will also have to pay the university's application fee.

There is no entrance exam for dentistry. You will have to take the university's own language tests as well as a competencies test, although these are not used for selection purposes.

Once a month, from November to July, 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. There is no guarantee that places will be available in the last selection rounds.

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.
