DENTISTRY WITH TRADITION.

TRAINING TO EUROPEAN STANDARDS.

At UVVG’s Faculty of Dentistry, lecturers know you by name. Small groups mean genuine access to teaching staff, ongoing guidance, and intensive practice—the opposite of anonymous training at large universities.

Established in 1991, the Faculty of Dentistry is one of Romania’s oldest private faculties in the field. It grew organically on a solid tradition: in Arad, a Post-secondary School of Dental Technology had operated since 1956, training generations of specialists and building up a significant material base. Against this background, the faculty was able to start with the necessary infrastructure and an already established teaching staff.

Today, students carry out their practical training in the university’s own clinics in Arad, alongside teaching staff who are active in dental practice. The dentist diploma obtained at UVVG is automatically recognized in all EU Member States, in accordance with Directive 2005/36/EC.

“UVVG’s Faculty of Dentistry is where tradition and innovation meet. We train dentists who are not only technically competent, but also responsible toward the patient and the community. Every student benefits from genuine guidance, not just a registration number.”

With over three decades of continuing education, our faculty has shown that a good dentist is shaped by solid practical training and an authentic relationship with lecturers. Our own clinics, small groups, and a teaching staff made up of active practitioners enable us to offer training that large public universities cannot replicate.

“I encourage young high-school graduates from Maramureș to enroll in our programs. A close-knit, warm, and friendly academic environment, experienced teaching staff—and the same diplomas as anywhere else in the country.”

UVVG’s Faculty of Dentistry aims to train highly qualified dentists and dental technicians, capable of successfully integrating into the national and European labor market. The educational process is centered on the student and on the competencies required by employers.

The main strategic directions focus on: the continuous modernization of the teaching process, ensuring the quality of education in line with national and international best practices, increasing performance in research activity, and strengthening partnerships with the professional dental community.

The values we promote: responsibility toward the patient, professional ethics, technical precision, evidence-based clinical thinking, and respect for diversity. Graduates of UVVG’s Faculty of Dentistry have the competencies needed to practice immediately after completing their studies.

The long-term vision is to strengthen UVVG’s Faculty of Dentistry as a regional benchmark in dental medical education, recognized for the quality of its graduates, its own clinical infrastructure, and the rapid professional integration of its graduates.
