If a bachelor's degree has already been attained, a master's program at FAU's WiSo is the perfect choice to further expand one's expertise. The WiSo master's programs deepen the scientific content that students have already dealt with in their bachelor's studies. Information events on the master's degree programs are now being held again at the beginning of 2022.
2021 is drawing to a close. It has been a challenging year. Therefore, as we start the Christmas days and the New Year, a heartfelt thank you to all students, staff and faculty for their tireless efforts during this year. A Merry Christmas to you all and a good and, above all, healthy start to 2022.
FAU had only just decided to introduce the 2G rule for teaching when the politicians decided to introduce new rules. For example, as of this week all staff at Bavarian universities have to comply with the 3G plus rule, in other words, anyone who works on campus has to either meet the 2G criteria or be able to show a valid, negative PCR test result twice a week.
In view of the current worrying conditions in intensive care units - especially at the University Hospital Erlangen - the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) has decided to introduce the 2G rule for its face-to-face teaching. Non-2G students can continue to study properly through online offerings.
The aim of EELISA, the European Engineering Learning Innovation & Science Alliance, is to train a new generation of students across various countries to use intelligent technologies and sustainable solutions to tackle the current global challenges. FAU is one of the universities involved in the project.
The lecture period begins today and the Nuremberg School of Business, Economics and Society (WiSo) therefore wishes you a successful winter semester 2021/2022 and all first-year students a good start to their studies! Furthermore: WiSo invites all students starting a Bachelor's or Master's program to the official first semester welcome today!
In addition to the official welcome, the event also offers a broad supporting program. Especially the virtual WiSo-Infofair offers contact to company partners, initiatives and institutions at the booth. From afwn to HUK, from Nürnberger Versicherung to the Uni-BIB ... they all have lots of information for the new students!
New life, new friends, new city: To ensure that first-year students at WiSo Nuremberg quickly feel at home, there will once again be a big freshers' welcome on October 18, 2021. The digital welcome, including an information fair, will take place in the morning. In the afternoon, the WiSo courtyard will offer a beer garden feeling and guided tours of the city.
The lecture period for winter semester 2021/22 will start soon and FAU is returning to face-to-face teaching. This is being made possible by the ‘3G rule’ in the new general hygiene guidance for universities in Bavaria, which allows teaching to take place on campus. Proof of Covid-19 vaccination, testing or recovery (3G rule) is required at FAU and FAUWiSo.
In the international Times Higher Education World University Rankings, FAU was again listed among the top 200 universities worldwide for 2022. The University performed well in all areas of the ranking, but did particularly well in the area of research, where it was ranked at place 156, and in industry income, where it ranked again at place 85.
