New country, new culture, new language and then lots of red tape to cope with? Don’t worry, we’ll see to it!
Welcome packages for international students
With our new modular welcome packages (to be provided in future by FAU gGmbH), Bachelor’s or Master’s students can concentrate fully on settling in at FAU without having to worry too much about all the official things which have to be seen to.
The packages (currently available for Erlangen) are offered at a charge and are tailored to your specific needs, ranging from someone going with you to to help sort out the most important formalities once you have arrived in Germany to the full service package including an apartment in premium student accommodation. Our aim is to make your start at FAU as pleasant as possible.
You can book the packages by email. Please mention the name of the package you would like. Please feel free to contact us at yourstart@fau.de, also if you have any questions.
