Message from the Dean

At the UCU School of Dentistry, we are proud to be a dynamic and growing institution established to meet the increasing demand for skilled dental professionals in Uganda and the wider Great Lakes region.
Our integrated curriculum equips students with a strong foundation in basic medical sciences, clinical disciplines in medicine and surgery, and a comprehensive understanding of dental practice. A unique hallmark of our program is our emphasis on character and ethical formation—because we believe that excellence in healthcare must be built on integrity, compassion, and professionalism.

With intentionally small class sizes, we foster close mentorship and meaningful interaction between faculty and students, ensuring personalized learning and holistic growth.

Join us in shaping the future of dental care with knowledge, skill, and character.

Dr. James Magara – Dean, UCU School of Dentistry
