key admission requirements for the Bachelor in Dentistry program at ACTA—straightforward, no fluff:

Dutch Language Proficiency
You must speak and understand Dutch fluently—enough to communicate with patients and follow your classes. This is essential for both learning and future dental practice. 

VWO-Equivalent Diploma
Your secondary school diploma must match the Dutch VWO standard. If you're applying from abroad, your credentials will be evaluated (via Nuffic or similar equivalency assessments). 

Selection Procedure (Numerus Fixus)
Dentistry is a numerus fixus program—meaning admission is competitive and limited. Even with the right diploma, you’ll need to go through ACTA’s selection process, which could include assessments or ranking.

Good Academic Foundation in Sciences
You must already have a strong background in natural sciences—specifically chemistry, biology, physics, and mathematics—to qualify. Admissions may check if you've covered these in your previous studies. 

Complete & High-Quality Application File
Even before your performance gets judged, the quality of your application matters. Make sure it's complete, well-written, and includes all required documents. Scribd

Tests and Assessments
ACTA selects candidates via live tests—possibly covering scientific principles, language skills, spatial awareness, social intelligence, and numerical reasoning. These tests are often held during an assessment day.
