Faculty of odontology of Montpellier, University college of odontology
The Faculty of Odontology at the University of Montpellier is an academic institution dedicated to educating dental professionals. The campus features modern classrooms, research laboratories, and clinical spaces where students develop practical skills under professional supervision.
The institution was created in 1958 as part of the Faculty of Medicine and gradually evolved into an independent department. In the 1970s it gained its own governance structure, and between 1996 and 1997 new buildings were constructed featuring modern clinics and teaching spaces.
The name reflects the Greek roots of dental science and underscores the academic approach to tooth treatment. In the clinics today, you can observe students working under supervision with patients, demonstrating how learning happens through direct practice and hands-on care.
The faculty is centrally located in Montpellier and easily accessible by public transport, with bus and tram stops nearby. Plan a visit during teaching hours when classrooms and clinics are in active use.
The faculty is part of a nationwide network of 16 similar institutions across France, enabling knowledge sharing and development of consistent standards for dental education. This positions the school as a hub within a larger system that shapes professional dental practice throughout the country.
