Quality Assurance

In accordance with its articles of association, DPU holds itself to an internal and external quality assurance council and advisory board. This ensures that the courses on offer, teaching, efficiency of the course and academic work are constantly monitored.

A quality assurance advisory council has been set up by DPU and meets regularly. It is made up of external consultants (Univ.-Prof. Dkfm.  Dr. Eugen Hauke, Dr.in Brigitte Ettl, Dr. Gerald Bachinger, Mag. Roland Schaffler) and experts /reviewers (Primar Uni.-Prof. Dr. Dr. Rüdiger Junker M.Sc., FDS RCSEd, Univ.-Prof. MR HR Dr. Robert Fischer, Dir. Robert Wagner MA). It supplements the internal quality assurance of study evaluations by students, as well as the external evaluation by the Agency for Quality Assurance Austria, which affects every private university in Austria as part of the regular reaccreditation process.
