Accommodation for international researchers

  • The cities of Erlangen, Fürth and Nuremberg offer a very good standard of living. They are popular places to live, meaning that accommodation is in high demand but often in short supply. This is particularly the case during the period before the start of a new semester. We therefore recommend that you start looking for accommodation as soon as possible.
  • It is worth checking the accommodation available on the internet every day, as new accommodation becomes available on a day-to-day basis. It pays to be flexible when it comes to the price and location of your accommodation and what facilities are available. The region has an excellent public transport system (www.vgn.de), so you should not have any problems getting to your place of study or work. If you are unsure if an offer is genuine or not, please feel free to contact us. We are happy to help.

If you intend to come to Germany with your family, you should start looking for accommodation as soon as possible. The choice of schools or kindergartens is often closely linked to your exact address and the location of your apartment is therefore potentially limited to certain neighborhoods.

  • Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to find any suitable accommodation for you.
  • Never transfer any money for the deposit or rent if you have not yet signed the rental agreement or if you have not yet viewed the apartment. Please contact us if you have any doubts.
  • You can find general information about looking for accommodation and signing a rental contract on the accommodation page under information for international applicants. Much of the information available on this page is also relevant for doctoral candidates and researchers, however, public student accommodation is only available to Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree students.
  • FAU guest houses provide rooms for researchers from abroad for the initial period of their stay to allow them to feel at ease right from the start and to concentrate on their research. Since capacity is limited, please send an e-mail to this address as soon as possible if you require accommodation at an FAU guest house: uni-gaestehaus@fau.de. Further information is available on the websites of the guest houses.
