Application and Enrolment

The bachelor programmes Materials Science and Nanotechnology start annually in winter term. There are no admission restrictions for either of them.

However, as an international student, you have to formally apply for a place at FAU.

You will find all information about applications, enrolment procedure,  general (student) life in Erlangen and much more on this site.

 

Admission to the master programmes Materials Science and Nanotechnology require a first qualifying degree (generally a BSc).
If you are still in the final phase of your Bachelor’s degree and have thus far achieved at least 140 ECTS, admission to the master programme is possible with conditions.

You will find an overview of the admission requirements in §43 (Materials Science) and §41 (Nanotechnology) of the respective examination regulations.

Applications for admission are open until January 15th for studies beginning the following summer term and through June 15th to start the following winter term.

You will find all information about the application process for international students on this website.

Math Revision Course

During an eight-day revision course prior to the start of the semester (generally the beginning of October), knowledge of necessary elementary math is reviewed and analysed in lectures and excercised in small study groups with mentoring through accompanying tutorials.

The revision course covers basic math knowledge in the following areas:

  • Linear systems of equations
  • Functions
  • Complex numbers
  • Differential calculus
  • Integral calculus
  • Curves
  • Vector analysis
