Program details
Overview
The Doctor of Dental Medicine at the University of Manitoba is a four-year professional program delivered in person at the Bannatyne campus through the Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry, following completion of required pre-dentistry coursework. Clinical training begins early in the first year and continues to expand through the program, culminating in a final year in which students treat patients in simulated practice settings and, at points, act as patients for certain reversible procedures performed by classmates under supervision. The curriculum is built around biomedical, behavioral, and clinical sciences intended to develop the cognitive, ethical, and clinical skills expected of a dental professional. Students may also pursue a Bachelor of Science in Dentistry concurrently with the DMD. Admission is an advanced-entry pathway requiring the specified pre-dentistry courses completed over two years of full-time study, restricted to Canadian citizens and permanent residents, and includes a minimum core course average set by the admissions committee, the Canadian English Dental Aptitude Test completed by the November before the intended fall intake, and an interview for eligible applicants. The program suits students seeking a hands-on, clinically intensive path into dental practice with substantial direct patient contact from the first year onward.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The DMD is an advanced-entry programme built on two years of full-time pre-dentistry study, admitted on a minimum core course average set by the admissions committee; course-by-course prerequisites are set out on the university's undergraduate admissions requirements page. Applicants must have written the Canadian English Dental Aptitude Test (DAT) and met its minimum results no later than November of the year before their intended fall intake. Admission is restricted to Canadian citizens and permanent residents, and all eligible applicants with admission potential are interviewed as part of selection. English-language proficiency follows the university's general standard, which accepts IELTS Academic 6.5 overall (minimum 6.0 per band), TOEFL iBT 86 overall (minimum 20 per section), PTE Academic 58, Duolingo 120 (minimum 105 per subscore), CAEL 60, or Cambridge C1/C2 180. The application fee for domestic applicants is $100.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply directly to the University of Manitoba. As of this September 2026 fetch, the Direct Entry deadlines page shows only the Fall 2026 cycle in full - University 1 and the Diploma in Agriculture at May 1, 2026 domestic / March 1, 2026 international, other Direct Entry programs at March 1, 2026 - a cycle that has already closed, alongside minor Winter 2027 (Dec 1, 2026) and Summer 2027 (Apr 1, 2027) intake deadlines. No Fall 2027 Direct Entry deadline has been published yet, so specific 2027 dates cannot be stated for the university's main intake. The Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Jazz Studies deadline (January 15, applying equally to domestic and international applicants) is likewise confirmed only for the 2026-27 cycle, also closed, with no 2027-28 bulletin posted. These are described as fixed deadlines rather than rolling admission, and the university opens each new cycle's applications on October 1. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
