KREMS AN DER DONAU, Austria: The Danube Private University (DPU), a leading institution in dentistry with nearly two decades of experience in postgraduate continuing education, is offering new Master of Science (Continuing Education) programmes beginning in the winter semester of the 2025/26 academic year.
Prof. Dieter Müßig is the rector and academic director of the orthodontics programme at Danube Private University.
DPU provides advanced specialisation across several dental disciplines, including a Master of Science in Orthodontics and a Master of Science in Oral Surgery/Implantology. The part-time courses, taught in English, span six semesters and award 120 ECTS credits. Up to 40% of classes are conducted online, with the remainder taking place on campus in Krems an der Donau in Austria.
In an era of rapid developments in medicine, technology and artificial intelligence, continuous professional education is key to long-term success. DPU’s programmes are designed to help dental professionals deepen their expertise, improve treatment outcomes and enhance practice performance.
“A master’s degree programme offers dentists with at least two years of professional experience excellent professional training,” said Prof. Dieter Müßig, rector of DPU and academic director of the university’s course in orthodontics.
He added: “It is organised in such a way that it can be completed part-time alongside a successful career. Course participants can apply their newly acquired knowledge in practice between university sessions. Students here are part of a group of engaged peers who are committed to continuing their education, and collaborations and friendships grow from that experience.”

Students have access to an auditorium for up to 300 people, lecture halls and seminar rooms equipped with state-of-the-art presentation technology.
