About the course
A five-year integrated programme that leads to a Master’s in Health Sciences and the professional qualification of dentist (odontologist). Years 1–2 cover the medical sciences, such as anatomy, histology, biochemistry and physiology, plus Lithuanian language classes. Years 3–5 are clinical: cariology, endodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, prosthetic and paediatric dentistry, periodontology and clinical dental practice. Clinical groups have up to 10 students. Graduates can practise as dentists, go on to residency or PhD study, or work in dental research. Tuition includes dental materials.
Entry requirements for Irish students
- You need a secondary school leaving certificate, legalised with an Apostille and in English, plus transcripts showing you passed Biology and Chemistry. LSMU does not list specific Irish Leaving Cert grades, so your results are assessed individually; contact admissions to confirm.
- Required subjects: Biology and Chemistry. LSMU says you need good knowledge of Biology, Chemistry, Maths and English. No minimum school grades are set.
- English: show an English certificate (e.g. IELTS above 5.5, Duolingo 95, PTE 55+, or B1 level). If you don’t have one, you sit LSMU’s own English test. LSMU does not mention an exemption for students schooled through English, so ask admissions.
- Selection: an online interview, then a 90-minute multiple-choice test with 30 Biology and 30 Chemistry questions. Some qualifications (e.g. A Levels at C/C, IB HL 5, UCAT 2100) are exempt, but the Irish Leaving Cert is not on that list.
- You also send a motivation letter, a passport copy and a photo.
