Until April 15, prospective students can still apply to study dentistry as part of Saxony's "state dentist quota". Eight study places are available for the winter semester 2026/2027, the Ministry of Health announced. Leipzig and Dresden are being considered as study locations.
Eight study places will be awarded without a numerus clausus
"With the rural dentist quota, we are creating the opportunity to study dentistry in Saxony outside of the numerus clausus for the first time and at the same time specifically strengthening healthcare, especially in rural areas," explained Health Minister Petra Köpping (SPD).
"We are thus opening up reliable prospects for committed young people - combined with the opportunity to work where they are really needed. I encourage those interested to take advantage of this opportunity and apply," emphasized the Minister.
