The subject is taught in the bachelor curriculum, in the study programme: Dental Hygiene, major in the 1st year. The classical Latin adjusted to the needs of medical terminology is (along with the present-day international English) a supplementary subject which creates background for the health care specialists with university education. Basic classical Greek is taught as a part of the course as well. The grammar is practised with respect to the needs of the students in the higher health care education, with emphasis to the correct usage of the specialised terms and ability to connect and create new specialised terms, in particular in dentistry.
