UDENTE is a unique opportunity to offer our students access to one of the best available contemporary dental curricula. The Institute of clinical dentistry at the University of Tromsø is the northern-most dental school in the world. We have access to all of the modern information and communication technologies.

The UDENTE project provides an internationally oriented, quality assured dental curriculum that our students will enjoy. It will also be very useful in providing an important, internationally recognized basis for the bench-marking of our own curriculum.
