Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg is a public research university in Erlangen and Nuremberg, Bavaria. Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, known as FAU, is a comprehensive public research university with five faculties spanning humanities, theology, law, economics, medicine, natural sciences, and engineering. Its institutional development includes 1743 — Margrave Friedrich founded the university in Erlangen. The institution began with theology, law, medicine, and philosophy. Today, its academic profile is shaped by humanities, languages, theology, law, economics, business, social sciences, education, psychology, medicine, dentistry, molecular medicine, mathematics, data science, physics, chemistry, biology, pharmacy, computer science, artificial intelligence, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, materials science, and medical engineering. The location is important because Locations across Erlangen, Nuremberg, Fürth, and the metropolitan region connect students with the university hospital, Siemens and other technology employers, manufacturing, energy, medical technology, start-ups, courts, cultural institutions, and internationally networked research institutes. The course portfolio represented in this master file contains 20 undergraduate entries and 17 postgraduate entries, with subject combinations consolidated under their parent degrees where appropriate. Undergraduate examples include Artificial Intelligence, Biology, Business Studies, Chemical and Biological Engineering, Chemistry, Computer Science, while later entries cover Molecular Medicine, Physics, Psychology. Postgraduate study ranges from Advanced Materials and Processes, Artificial Intelligence, Autonomy Technologies, Chemical and Biological Engineering, Clean Energy Processes, Communications and Multimedia Engineering to Medical Engineering, Molecular Medicine, Physics. Each course remains a parent qualification, and specializations are recorded within the course entry instead of being misrepresented as separate degrees. This row records major parent qualifications and keeps concentrations, subject combinations, teaching tracks, and elective pathways within the appropriate degree instead of counting them as separate programs. Admission is controlled at program level. Applicants use the campo portal and the route assigned to the exact program, qualification, and nationality. Admission-free, restricted, international, master's qualification-assessment, medicine, teacher-education, aptitude, and doctoral processes have different requirements, documents, and deadlines. Applicants must verify the teaching language, entry semester, subject prerequisites, selection procedure, and document route before submission. International school or university qualifications may require external evaluation, certified translations, APS documentation for applicable countries, or additional evidence of academic equivalence. Master's committees can request module descriptions, portfolios, writing samples, professional experience, or interviews. Doctoral entry is separate from bachelor's or master's admission and normally requires a viable research proposal, eligible supervision, and formal acceptance by the responsible faculty. All students currently pay an €82 semester contribution. FAU will introduce program-specific tuition for newly enrolling or subject-changing non-EU students from summer semester 2027, generally €1,000–€3,000 per bachelor semester and €2,000–€6,000 per master semester, with exemptions and program exceptions. These institutional charges do not include rent, health insurance, food, learning materials, residence formalities, project costs, or personal travel. Special tuition can apply to continuing-education, distance-learning, joint, second-degree, or long-term study formats when the relevant law or program regulation provides for it. Funding may include BAföG for eligible students, the Deutschlandstipendium, DAAD and Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, research employment, or university-specific awards, but every funding application is assessed independently from admission. Career preparation reflects the university's subject mix and does not constitute a guaranteed placement scheme. Students can improve professional readiness through internships, applied projects, research assistantships, employer events, language development, entrepreneurship services, international mobility, and an externally partnered thesis.
