FAQ
Danube Private University admissions FAQ
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.
