The dates on DPU's studies page for 30 October and 4 December 2026 and 26 February 2027 are Dentistry's on-site tests
- Admission interview
- Not yet publishedScheduled only once the written test has been passed; DPU publishes no interview calendar

- Campus
- Krems an der Donau for the Bachelor and Wiener Neustadt for the Master, both in Lower Austria
- Intake
- First-year entry is in the winter semester: DPU's Bachelor regulations name only the winter semester as the startDPU's April 2026 press release says 150 students began Human Medicine in the winter semester 2025/26. Its preparatory science course runs from late August to mid-September, before studies start.
- Interview
- Required: conducted in German, up to one hour, with an MMI part and a medicine and natural-sciences part
- Tuition
- €14,175 per semester (official), €85,050 for each six-semester stage and €170,100 for the Bachelor and Master togetherDPU's own fee page gives the same €14,175 per semester for the Bachelor and for the Master stage.
- Application fee
- Not yet publishedDPU's admissions page states no fee for first-year applicants; check with DPU whether one applies. For lateral entry into a higher semester (Quereinstieg) it charges EUR 3,950: EUR 850 for the admission test and EUR 3,100 for checking the documents and placement
- Application process
- Email the complete application to [email protected] with your preferred test date: the application form, a CV with passport photo, a motivation letter of at least one A4 page, certified copies of your general and special university entrance qualifications, a passport copy, an Austrian e-card copy if you live in Austria and, where it is not obvious, proof of German (certificates of a three-month nursing internship and a first-aid course, where applicable, can follow until the MED1 comprehensive exam); then sit the written test online via Zoom and, once it is passed, the admission interview; no English certificate or recommendation letter is asked for

Questions
Before you buy
Yes. Human Medicine at DPU is German-taught, sufficient German is an admission requirement, and the admission interview is held in German. DPU doesn't state the written test's language; German is the likely assumption, but confirm it with the university before you prepare.
No. The MedAT is Austria's public-university entrance test. The private universities in our catalogue each run their own separate admission test, with different subjects, timing and format from the MedAT and from each other.
Yes, at all three. The written test comes first, then an interview for candidates who pass it or, at Paracelsus, who rank among the top 405 nationally. Format varies by school: Danube's interview, for example, has an MMI part followed by a medicine and natural-sciences part.
No national licensing exam. Austria's pathway runs through registration and supervised training instead: a general Basisausbildung period, followed by either a roughly three-year general-practice track (Turnusarzt) or a five-to-six-year specialist track (Facharzt), administered through the Austrian Medical Chamber (Österreichische Ärztekammer), ending in the right to practise (ius practicandi).
Yes, it's the 2027 edition, built from the latest admission rules Danube Private University has published. Where a 2027 date or detail isn't published yet, confirm it with the university before you rely on it.
Yes. Danube Private University-format practice sessions are available inside the simulator and align with the guide section by section.
An online guide you read in your browser, on a laptop, tablet or phone. Access starts the moment you buy, with no waiting.
Yes: 1,000+ practice questions in the exam simulator, matched to the format, difficulty and topic distribution of the real DPU Medicine Admission Test, with a full explanation for every answer.
