How can I apply and how does the program start?

The first step is to apply to a company for a place for vocational training or the practical phases. The company and applicants agree on organizational aspects and, if applicable, a vocational training contract is signed.

Following this, applicants either apply for or are enrolled on the desired degree program at FAU. Proof of the agreement with the company must be submitted during enrollment.

Finding and selecting a company for vocational training and a degree program

Firstly, you must apply to a company for a place for vocational training. You will need to arrange the organizational aspects with the training company and sign a vocational training contract.
After gaining your university entrance qualification, select the relevant degree program at FAU: In the case of subjects without admission restrictions, you can enroll directly after submitting your application online (from May to the end of September). For subjects with admission restrictions, you can apply online until July 15, and enroll only after you have been accepted. You must submit the vocational training contract in both cases for enrollment at FAU.
