Founded in 1743 in Erlangen, merged with the University of Altdorf 1809, and combined with the Nuremberg-based business school in 1961. Approximately 40,000 students. One of Bavaria's largest universities. Strong engineering reputation — Siemens (headquartered in Munich but with major Erlangen presence) has long-standing FAU partnerships.
Always confirm a university's current accreditation with
the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in
the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any
fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an
endorsement.
Why this is free
AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld. It is free because its purpose is to
help people find their way to education — and the wider project
supports the Shamool Foundation, a free school for street children in
Lahore (60 students, lunch, books and uniforms provided).
