Oral Health Sciences is a joint degree programme of 2 universities: VU Amsterdam and the University of Amsterdam.

The programme has evolved out of 5 dental differentiation programmes, offering (clinical) education at ACTA for many years. The average minimum time commitment is 40 hours per week. Students are at ACTA 3-5 days per week, depending on the chosen graduation profile. Combining your study with work is possible, but we do recommend you to discuss this beforehand with the relevant profile director. Note: combining 2 graduation profiles is not possible.

4 components

  • Generic courses (32 ECTS)
  • Graduation profile-specific courses (30 ECTS)
  • The Research Track (28 ECTS) 
  • The acquisition of more in‐depth clinical skills that form 50% of the total study time (90 ECTS).
