Welcome program for international students

Studying at FAU also means getting to know everyday life in Germany as well as German and Franconian culture. Which questions will I be expected to answer in which government office? What’s the best way to get from the lecture hall to my sports class? And in which café am I most likely to find fellow students?

It’s easier together

All these questions are easier to answer if you have experienced students on hand who can offer you advice and share their knowledge of the area. International Affairs offers a wide range of support for international students.

More information on the support available is listed in the navigation menu.

Our website also gives you information on everything you need to know about coming to FAU that will make it easier for you to find your feet at the beginning.

Student life in Germany

We asked international students to talk about their experiences in Germany to help you avoid any cultural misunderstandings and get off to the best possible start at FAU.
