Studying in Erlangen or Nuremberg?

WiSo (the School of Business, Economics and Society) is located at two sites in Nuremberg. The Faculty of Sciences and the Faculty of Engineering are located in the south of Erlangen. The Faculty of Medicine, the Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Theology, and the School of Law are spread across Erlangen city center.

Nevertheless, classes in your degree program may also be offered in the other city, which could require commuting – for example, if a practical art history seminar takes place in front of original works at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg. You can check the specific venue in the course catalog.

Please note for teaching degrees: Primary and lower secondary school teaching degrees (Grundschul- und Mittelschullehramt) are always studied in Nuremberg. When studying to become a secondary school teacher at Realschule you can largely choose which city you would like to take classes in. However, there are exceptions, such as the subject of Business and Economics, which is only offered in Erlangen. Classes for teaching degrees in secondary education at Gymnasium are taught in Erlangen.
