Study Dentistry and Pharmacy Abroad for Saudis: Recognition and Admission

To study dentistry abroad or study pharmacy abroad is one of the biggest decisions a student and family make: long years, high fees, and a degree Saudi health authorities must recognise before you can practise. The wrong university can cost you years. Almorad chooses the right one and applies for you through to your offer.

Three bodies that decide your future after you study dentistry or pharmacy abroad

1. Ministry of Education: degree equivalency.
2. Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS): classification and registration through Mumaris+, reviewing your academic record, duration and clinical training.
3. Licensing exam before practice.

An unrecognised university or weak clinical training can block your licence, so we start with recognition, not fees.

Study dentistry abroad

• Degree: BDS in the UK, Ireland and many countries, usually 5 years; DDS/DMD in the US and Canada, usually after a bachelor's.
• Admission: strong biology and chemistry, a language test, sometimes an interview or test.
• Key point: real clinical training with patients.

We help you pick a country that balances quality and cost when you study dentistry abroad.

Study pharmacy abroad

• Clearest degree for practice: PharmD. Some countries offer BPharm/MPharm; we confirm acceptance for classification first.
• Duration: varies; US programmes need prerequisites before PharmD.
• Admission: chemistry, biology, maths and a language test.
