Bachelor in Dental Science (B.D.S.)
Early clinical training
Hands-on experience with real patients
Clinical experience across different areas of dentistry
The Bachelor in Dental Science (B.D.S.) is a clinically focused dental program built around practical learning. You begin by developing the scientific understanding and technical precision required for dental practice. Your training starts in pre-clinical laboratories, where you learn procedures and work with modern dental materials in a controlled environment. As your studies progress, you move into supervised clinical training with real patients. Step by step, you develop practical skills, clinical judgement, and the confidence needed for professional dental care. The program follows the educational standards of the Association for Dental Education in Europe (ADEE).

Your clinical training follows a clear and structured path. It begins in the 4th semester with pre-clinical laboratory training. In simulation laboratories, you practice dental procedures in controlled environments using artificial teeth and simulated oral models. From the 7th semester onward, you move into supervised clinical practice with real patients in the university clinics. Clinical education requires the completion of a defined number of dental procedures that gradually increase in complexity. Step by step, you develop the experience and professional confidence required for modern dental practice.
Aristotle University has a long tradition of educating highly skilled dentists.
