Practicing dentistry in Germany for a Moroccan student

@Khalil El

Before we proceed, do you speak German at a level of at least C1, both written and spoken?

Best to point out that such a level is required by law.

Currently my level in german is B1 but I think that for the end of my studies I'am going to have a C1 level in german

That is good to hear. You will be amazed by the number of people who think they can get by with just English. Well, make sure you do get up to C1 because you will have to take a recognised examination and show the results to any future employer.

beppi & Tom will be able to tell you what are next steps are, and good luck.

As far as I know (but I am not an expert, so please check this with the appropriate trade body, possibly "Kassenärztliche Vereinigung"), after achieving C1 German you need you foreign diplomas and certificates recognised. How and where to do that, the trade body will be able to tell you.

Only after that you can talk to potential employers.

Good luck!

@beppi

If I remember correctly, if the exams are taken in the EU, then they are recognised across the bloc, but they would have to check on that.

Thank you for all your answers but what is Germany's policy regarding foreign dentists? Is Germany open to welcoming them to its territory or are restrictions beginning to be imposed ?

@SimCityAT

Yes thanks to the Bologna agreements my portuguese diploma is normally recognized throughout the EU.

@Khalil El

Germany is very open to foreign doctors or dentists - as long as they have the recognized required education and German language proficiency.
