Question 1

Does Aldent University offer an MBBS (general medicine) degree?

Accepted Answer

No. Based on the official programme listings reviewed, Aldent University's clinical degrees are in Dentistry (integrated Master of Science, 5 years), Pharmacy (integrated Master of Science, 5 years), and Nursing (Bachelor's, 3 years), plus allied-health bachelor's/master's programmes in medical imaging/radiotherapy, medical laboratory technology, and physiotherapy. There is no general-medicine/MBBS-equivalent programme in Aldent's official course catalogue as reviewed.

Question 2

What language are Aldent University's programmes taught in?

Accepted Answer

Every official programme page reviewed for this research (Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing) lists 'Study Language: Albanian' in its published programme details. No official page describing an English-medium track for international students was found. Prospective non-Albanian-speaking applicants should confirm directly with Aldent's admissions office whether any alternative language arrangement (foundation year, translated instruction, etc.) exists before applying.

Question 3

How is Aldent University accredited, and is this independently verifiable?

Accepted Answer

Aldent University is licensed as a private university under Decision of the Council of Ministers No. 673 (dated 27 September 2006) and is institutionally accredited under Albania's national quality-assurance system. This is independently corroborated on the website of ASCAL, Albania's Quality Assurance Agency in Higher Education, which lists Aldent (as 'Universiteti Aldent') as an active, licensed private university with a specific institutional accreditation decision (Vendim BA Nr.01, dated 27.01.2023) and individually accredited study programmes.

Question 4

Can Indian students apply to Aldent University, and how does admission work?

Accepted Answer

Aldent's official Admission Process page describes an application route built around verification of Albania's own State Matura secondary-school examination results and national admission criteria; it does not describe a separate international-student admissions track on the pages reviewed. Indian applicants should contact Aldent's admissions office directly to ask how a foreign (Indian) secondary-school qualification is evaluated for equivalence, what additional documents are required, and whether any language requirement or preparatory step applies, since this was not detailed on the public site.

Question 5

What does dentistry (Integrated Master of Science in Dentistry) at Aldent involve?

Accepted Answer

It is a 5-year, 300-ECTS integrated programme combining biomedical science foundations in years one and two with progressively more clinical training from year three onward, including supervised patient treatment, a practicum, and a diploma thesis in the final year. The official curriculum lists modules such as Oral Surgery, Orthodontics, Periodontology, Endodontics, Fixed and Full Prosthodontics, and Pedodontics across the later years. Admission on the official programme page is listed as requiring a High School Diploma with a weighted average grade above 8.

Question 6

Does Aldent University provide student housing or dormitories?

Accepted Answer

No university-operated dormitories or halls of residence were described on the official site in this research pass. Aldent instead runs a 'Housing Support' service that gives students guidance on finding and safely renting private accommodation in Tirana -- including a pre-lease checklist, tenant-rights information, and help if a housing problem arises -- rather than providing or guaranteeing on-campus housing itself.

Question 7

What is the tuition fee for Aldent University's programmes?

Accepted Answer

This research pass could not find published per-programme tuition figures on Aldent's official Tuition & Fees page; the page describes payment policies (installment options and an early-payment discount for full payment by December) rather than listing rates. Prospective students should request current, written tuition figures for their specific programme and intake year directly from Aldent's Finance Office before making any financial commitment.

Question 8

Will an Aldent University degree be recognised in India?

Accepted Answer

This was not independently confirmed in this research pass and should not be assumed. Indian students should verify, in writing and before enrolling, how a dentistry, pharmacy, or nursing degree from Aldent University would be evaluated by the relevant Indian regulator (the dental regulatory body, the Pharmacy Council of India, or the Indian Nursing Council, as applicable) for the purpose of practicing or pursuing further studies in India, since Albania's small existing pool of graduates from these specific programmes means there is little established precedent to rely on.
