Admission to "Dentistry" in 2026: how much tuition costs and what universities offer

During the 2026 admission campaign, the Dentistry program traditionally remains one of the most expensive among medical fields. The annual cost of contract-based study at Ukrainian higher education institutions ranges from UAH 48,000 to UAH 130,000.

The most expensive tuition is offered by Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University — UAH 130,000 per year. At O.O. Bohomolets National Medical University, the contract tuition fee is UAH 105,000; at Ivano-Frankivsk National Medical University, UAH 89,000; at Odesa National Medical University, UAH 86,600; and at Poltava State Medical University, UAH 86,500.

At the same time, the University of Medicine and Social Sciences offers a Dentistry program for UAH 55,000 per year. The university emphasizes that affordable tuition does not mean compromising the quality of education.

We are convinced that talented applicants should choose a university based on the quality of education, opportunities for practical training and professional development, rather than give up on their dream because of the high cost of tuition. That is why, at the University of Medicine and Social Sciences, we combine affordable tuition with high training standards, modern educational technologies and international opportunities for students

According to him, modern dental education should be based primarily on practical training. It is the practical skills acquired that determine a future doctor's readiness for professional practice. Therefore, students study in small academic groups, work with modern equipment and consistently develop their clinical skills throughout the entire period of study.

An additional advantage is the opportunity to undertake clinical practice in Romania. There, students become familiar with European approaches to the training of dentists, the organization of medical care and the specific features of healthcare institutions' work.

The university also draws applicants' attention to the application of the regional coefficient. In cases defined by law, it increases the competitive score, which may improve an applicant's position during the competitive selection process. For Kharkiv region, this in particular expands opportunities to enter the Dentistry program for applicants with an NMT score of 140 or higher.

Today, for many applicants, not only the contract tuition fee but also what exactly the university offers its students is becoming increasingly important. Practice-oriented education, international experience, modern facilities and equipment, and the quality of graduates' training are increasingly becoming decisive criteria when choosing a higher education institution.
