French Language Requirements

As dental students, you will be in regular contact with francophone patients in the undergraduate dental clinic and in teaching hospitals. As of the 2024-2025 application cycle, having an intermediate (B2) level of French will be a requirement for admission into the DMD program.

If you are an听international student, a Black candidate pathway student, or an Indigenous pathway student,听you can apply without providing proof of French proficiency. If you are accepted however, you will need to obtain French proficiency by your 3rd year before starting clinic. Please understand that the DMD is a heavy program, and learning French at the same time will be difficult. Therefore, we do not suggest you enroll if you have no knowledge in French.听

French-language minimum requirements:

• B2 (mid-intermediate)

The equivalent Canadian Language Benchmark level is approximately 6 to 8 ( view for an interactive self-assessment of English and French up to level 8); The Common European Framework of Reference level is approximately .
