    Incoming Exchange Students

    Welcome, exchange students!

    If you are planning to come to Erlangen as part of an international exchange program (Erasmus+ or other), FAU has a lot to offer you. Our Medical Engineering program offers a wide range of courses in English.

    Application

    For the application as an exchange student, a German language certificate is generally not necessary if you have certified English language skills (at least intermediate) and want to choose English modules. In order to carry out an exchange semester with our program,  there has to be an existing exchange agreement between your home university and our Medical Engineering program. If this is the case, you need to apply to your home university first. Once you have been nominated as an exchange student by your home university, our Central Office for International Affairs will support you with all formalities. For more information, please click here.

    Medical Engineering courses in English

    For a list of the Medical Engineering courses offered in English, see the module catalogs in our info section for current students.

    As an incoming student of our Medical Engineering program, you are also allowed to choose these English-taught courses by our Department for Mechanical Engineering.

    In order to access the specific course contents, please refer to our online platforms.

    Lecture and exam periods

    Lecture periods: please click here. Examination periods at the Faculty of Engineering always take place in the two weeks following the lecture period and the three weeks preceding the next lecture period. Please find the upcoming examination periods here. If our second examination period is too late for because you have to return to your home university, please approach our lecturers early on and ask them for an alternative solution.

    Language training and social activities

    As an exchange student at FAU, you can take our free language courses, which take place during the lecture period. Intensive courses, which are offered during the lecture-free period, have a fee. You can access the website of our Language Center here. Please find detailed information on German courses here.

    After your nomination as an exchange student at FAU, you will receive information via email by our Central Office for International Affairs regarding our welcome events.

    Our student initiative FAU Volunteers for Internationals organizes various social gatherings and trips during the semester.

    “Studentenwerk ” student services organize a weekly language exchange meetup during the lecture period, which you are welcome to join.

    If you would like to meet up one-to-one with a language tandem partner you can register for our language tandem service here.

    If you have any further questions about studying as an exchange student in our Medical Engineering program, please contact our Study Advisory Service.

    We are looking forward to welcoming you at FAU!
