Studying Dentistry in Malaysia
Dentistry is a rewarding, hands-on healthcare career, and Malaysia offers an English-taught route to it at a fraction of Western tuition. Malaysian dental schools pair a solid medical-science foundation with modern simulation labs and supervised clinical practice, so you build real chairside skills treating patients before you graduate.
As with medicine, dentistry is a regulated profession: an accredited Malaysian dental degree is widely respected, but to practise you'll register with the dental authority in your country of work — sometimes with additional exams. YSTC makes sure you understand that path from day one.
For international students, the appeal is the combination of a globally relevant, English-taught qualification, real affordability, and a welcoming place to live and study. Whatever you'd like to study, YS Training & Consultancy can help you choose the right Dentistry program, confirm the current official fees, and apply with confidence — talk to us free to get started.
A note on the numbers: fees, rankings and intake dates change over time. We always confirm the current official figures with the university before you apply.
Lo que estudiarás
A Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) trains you to diagnose and treat conditions of the teeth, gums and mouth. You'll study the basic medical sciences, then dental-specific subjects — oral anatomy, restorative dentistry, oral surgery, orthodontics and periodontics — and spend your later years treating real patients under supervision in dental clinics, supported by simulation labs.
Around 5 years for the BDS, followed by supervised practice; specialisation adds further years.

Requisitos de ingreso

- Meet the minimum subject grades set by your chosen university
- Meet the English language requirement for your chosen course

Preguntas frecuentes
Can I practise as a dentist abroad with a Malaysian degree?
Accredited Malaysian dental degrees are recognised in many countries, but dentistry is regulated — you'll need to register with the dental authority where you want to work, and some countries require additional exams. YSTC will confirm the route for your specific country, free.
How long is a dentistry degree in Malaysia?
The BDS is typically around five years, including substantial clinical training, followed by a period of supervised practice. Specialising takes further postgraduate study. YSTC will explain the full timeline for you.
What grades do I need for dentistry?
Dentistry is competitive and usually requires strong science grades (biology and chemistry) at pre-university level, plus the English requirement. Foundation-in-science pathways exist at some universities. YSTC will check your eligibility for free.

Several Malaysian universities offer Dentistry — the "Universities offering this" section on this page lists the ones in our database. YSTC will help you shortlist the best fit for your grades, budget and goals, completely free.
How much does it cost to study Dentistry in Malaysia?
Tuition depends on the university and intake, and fees change over time, so we don't want to quote an out-of-date figure.

Your free YSTC consultation includes a clear, current cost estimate for your shortlist, plus a realistic living-cost budget.
Are there scholarships for Dentistry in Malaysia?
Scholarship and tuition-award availability changes each intake and by university. The best move is a free YSTC consultation, where we'll check what you might qualify for and help you apply at no cost — rather than relying on outdated information.
