City from the university postal address; the school page does not name its campus.

The School of Dentistry at the University for Development Studies, Tamale, was established in 2023 and offers a six-year Bachelor of Dental Surgery. Students study human biology at the School of Medicine before the clinical phase, with problem-based and community-based teaching and a phantom head laboratory.

Dental programs

Programs are grouped by track and never mixed: initial dental qualifications, advanced standing for applicants who already hold a dental qualification, postgraduate programs and research degrees. The exact official wording is shown.

Initial Dental Qualifications

A postgraduate certificate or master's listed here is not an initial dental degree and does not by itself satisfy initial-degree licensing.

Teaching languages

Classroom, clinical and patient-interaction languages can differ. We record a language only when an official source states it.
Teaching language not verified. An English-language website does not establish English teaching.

Directory listing

An entry in a directory such as WDDS. A listing is not accreditation or endorsement.

No directory reference recorded

DentalSchools.app does not accredit or approve schools and is not affiliated with WDDS, KIDEE, CODA, the ADA or any regulator. A directory listing is not accreditation, and a pending application is not accreditation. A missing record means we have not verified it, not that it does not exist. For University for Development Studies School of Dentistry, confirm current status with the accreditor or national authority named above. How recognition works.
