In line with its responsibility to education, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität is committed to developing its teaching. We respect the standards and methods of individual disciplines and the need for research and evidence-based teaching. We attach the same importance to educating our students to apply their knowledge and skills independently, responsibly and for the benefit of society.
FAU’s international perspective promotes mobility and attracts students from all over the world to Erlangen and Nuremberg. We believe in life-long learning through further education opportunities that enable people to deepen and expand knowledge and skills at all stages of life.FAU is ready to face the challenges of internationalization and digitalization in teaching with targeted strategic measures, also in teacher training, which are of utmost importance for fulfilling its educational mission that reaches deep into society.
Developing teaching. Transferring knowledge. Encouraging talent.
At FAU, the Vice President Education is responsible for the strategic implementation of teaching programs, curricular developments and innovations in teaching, including digitalization, internationalization, accreditation and training. She ensures that students take on responsibility at an early stage, learn with a practical focus and actively put their knowledge into practice. FAU coordinates programs for improving teaching quality, digital learning formats and interdisciplinary exchanges, so that the University, as a place of learning, is inspiring, networked and stays ready for the future.
