Friedrich-Alexander-Universität can be found at several other locations in Franconia.
Medizincampus
Since winter semester 2019/2020, the Faculty of Medicine at FAU has offered the degree program “Medicine Erlangen/Bayreuth”. The feature of this degree program is the clinical training at Medizincampus Oberfranken in cooperation with Klinikum Bayreuth, Uniklinikum Erlangen and Bezirkskrankenhaus Bayreuth.

Water sports center
Water sports in the Franconian region? Of course! The area known as the Franconian lakes (fränkische Seenland) offers plenty of opportunities to try out all kinds of sports. The water sports center of FAU’s Department of Sport Science and Sport is located at the Brombachsee, to the north of Pleinfeld. It is open to both students and staff, and offers courses in, for example, sailing.
Seezentrum Schlungenhof
