European qualification route

The GDC currently provides a near-automatic route for recognised EEA dental qualifications and required accompanying certificates.

Confirm the route for your exact award and graduation year, including any future examination requirement.

Clinical access
The faculty describes English theoretical and clinical teaching, with compulsory Croatian classes in the first two years to prepare for communication with patients. Confirm current clinical-language assessment and patient-treatment requirements.

Check the rules for your expected graduation year. Recognition of a qualification, registration, a training place and permission to work are separate decisions.

What to prepare

  • Passport and the application form for your nationality route.
  • Your original school-leaving qualifications, subject grades and transcripts; add degree and prerequisite-course evidence for graduate or college-entry routes. Confirm predicted-grade rules if results are pending.
  • Evidence of English or the university’s written exemption.
  • Any required motivation statement, references, medical form and passport photograph.
  • Certified copies, translations, recognition and apostille only in the format requested by this university.

This is a preparation checklist. The university’s current country-specific list determines which items you must submit.
