Description:
Respect for tradition and receptiveness to new ideas plus a particularly wide range of subjects including courses taught in English: these are the special features of the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU). With its eleven faculties - nine of which are situated in Erlangen and two in Nuremberg - our university is the second largest in Bavaria with currently some 20,000 students enrolled. Although 70 per cent of FAU students originate from the Northern Bavarian area called Franconia, there are almost 2000 foreign students from all over the world who have come to study to Erlangen or Nuremberg. For many years the FAU has also had partnership ties with numerous foreign universities.
