Introductory Week

At the FAU we offer you Orientation Courses  in the period before the courses start, one in each term. There you’ll get the information you need for your stay in Nürnberg. We will also visit local companies, libraries, the language lab etc. and have a lot of fun (welcome party, city-rally/ paper chase, etc.)

There’s also an buddy system with students from Nürnberg. They know your situation and will help you to get to know Nürnberg as well as other students.

For all other students, the central office of international affairs organizes a similar course and a buddy system in Erlangen and some parts are obligatory for both groups, but we will inform you about that.
Please make sure, that we have your current email-address to establish contact. Often Hotmail-accounts may cause some problems (spam filters), so we recommend other services as gmail.com, web.de or gmx.de.
