University of Erlangen–Nuremberg (FAU)

Before applying for a place on a degree program, you must first decide what you would like to study. With over 260 degree programs to choose from, FAU offers a range of subjects and an interdisciplinary network that are unique in Germany.

Our State Examination and Bachelor’s degree programs are aimed at those who have not yet completed a degree. During a Master’s degree, students can expand their specialist knowledge and further develop their academic skills. In addition, FAU offers teaching degree programs (Lehramt) for primary schools, secondary schools (Mittelschule, Realschule and Gymnasium) and vocational schools.

• Support for international researchers

Studying at FAU also means getting to know everyday life in Germany as well as German and Franconian culture. Which questions will I be expected to answer in which government office? What’s the best way to get from the lecture hall to my sports class? And in which café am I most likely to find fellow students?

All these questions are easier to answer if you have experienced students on hand who can offer you advice and share their knowledge of the area. The Central Office for International Affairs (RIA) offers a wide range of support for international students.
