Events and offerings for Students
There are a number of events and offerings to help you acclimate to the university but also during your studies. And, of course, there will also be a ceremonial farewell to our graduates.
We welcome our international students, including ERASMUS Students with our Welcome Week and Faculty Day.
- 4-11 March 2025: Welcome week for students taking part in the intensive off-term German language course (FIT course).
- 7-14 April 2025: Welcome week for all international students including Faculty Day on April 9th, 2025
The Faculty Day is is aimed primarily at your welcome and getting to know the Faculty of Engineering and your fellow students and will include general information about the faculty and your department, a campus tour, and a get together with drinks and pretzels.
Kindly note: You will receive detailed information about your program of study at the bachelor’s or master’s orientation sessions at the beginning of the lecture period.
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.
