Get all essential information, meet new people, and make connections right from the start! On 8 October 2026, the Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Theology invites its new international students to Faculty Day – a welcome event full of practical information, networking opportunities, and insights into life at the Faculty.
The Vice Dean for International Affairs, Prof. Dr. Lutz Edzard, together with the Faculty’s International Office, will welcome international students with an informative and engaging program running from 2-7 PM in lecture hall Kleiner Hörsaal, Bismarckstraße 1a, in Erlangen. The event aims to give our new members a warm welcome, provide an overview of the Faculty’s structures and services, and create a platform for exchange and networking.
The program offers both practical information and opportunities to get to know professors, staff, and fellow students. This will make it easier for international first-year students to get started at FAU and encourage them to actively participate in the academic life at the Faculty.
With this event, we strengthen the Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Theology as a place that embraces international perspectives and recognizes their essential contribution to research, teaching, and campus life – reflecting and reinforcing the diversity that defines our Faculty.
All new international students are warmly invited to join us on 8 October. Further information and details on registration can be found here:
