Events and offerings for Students

At the beginning of your first semester, you will receive important information about studying in general, but also about your chosen degree programs, at the welcome and introductory events for all first-semester students.

At the official welcome by FAU President Joachim Hornegger and the Executive Board, we warmly welcome all our new students to FAU. Including the popular FAU bags and a cool DJ set.

The Faculty of Engineering offers several pre-courses and revision courses to review and consolidate the basics needed for a successful start to your studies. All these courses are voluntary, of course, but offer the perfect opportunity to settle in at FAU and get to know your fellow students. At the moment most of theses courses are in German, but we plan to offer English groups as well.

During the semester, the Faculty of Engineering’s Study Service offers various seminars on a range of topics to support you in your studies, career entry and further (professional) life. These seminars are financed by study grants and are free of charge for you.

The International Day is a virtual fair about staying abroad during your studies. It takes place in cooperation between the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences (WISO) at FAU. It takes place every year in November. As soon as the current program is available, you will find it at www.internationalday.de

General information about the stay abroad can be found on the website International.

Twice a year, the Faculty of Engineering invites its graduates to a festive ceremony to celebrate their departure from FAU and their entry into professional life. It takes place on the grounds of the Faculty of Engineering in the south of Erlangen and is rounded off with a small reception.

At the registration page you will find the next date, the planned program, as well as the registration and a few impressions of the last ceremony.
