Student services
The Student Body (Fachschaft) of the Danube Private University (DPU) is both a registered association and the elected representation of the roughly 670 students of the Faculty of Medicine/Dentistry.
The two study group representatives elected from each semester are appointed to the Student Body, where they meet at monthly meetings to ensure a reliable exchange of information between students of all semesters and address any questions and concerns that may arise. The Student Body, which is composed all the elected semester representatives, in turn elects two chairpersons, one for the pre-clinical stage and one for the clinical stage of study, who then have seats in the University Senate.
Campus life
The students and academic staff at the DPU enjoy spending time and embarking on activities together both during the courses and in their free time. They often like to refer to each other as the “DPU family”.
The enrolment ceremonies take place in the collegiate church at the Benedictine Abbey of Göttweig with a blessing by Abbot Columban or Father Patrick who is in charge of the pastoral care for the students. The ceremony is accompanied by the DPU choir, which is made up of students and staff, and often invited to perform at the abbeys and churches of the region.
Sports facilities
For a sustainable balance between life and work, sports and teambuilding play an important role within the student body. DPU created its own sports initiative for this purpose, the “DPU Sporting Club“. DPU’s tennis, football, running and golf teams have already achieved impressive success, including through regional tournaments, for example, advancement in District League B in tennis.
Accreditation
Danube Private University is accredited by Agency for Quality Assurance and Accreditation Austria.
