Application

Once we are notified of your participation in the programme (by your home university), we’ll bring you in contact with the central office of international affairs (RIA) who handles the formal procedure of admission and accomodation for all faculties of the FAU.

After the applications have been processed, you’ll receive a notification containing information on enrolment that will be of assistance to you once you’re in Germany. Also, you’ll be informed about which student dormitories/residences have a vacancy. If you’ve got a room in a student dorm, please confirm it immediately at the central office of international affairs.

There are several documents you must bring with you in order to avoid any bureaucratic problems. We advise you to check your papers before you leave for Germany.

Here is the list of what you need:

• The admission letter (Zulassungsbestätigung) sent to you by mail
• Your high school diploma (only for double degree students) in the original or a certified copy!!!
• Health insurance certificate (EU countries: EHIC-card, Turkey: T/A 11,) from your health service, which has to be valid for the whole duration of your stay in Germany
• An enrolment certificate from your university / entrance exam
