In November 2006 some 5,600 young men and women enrolled in this central Franconian university, thus choosing courses of study with an interdisciplinary, international, and practice-oriented approach. The university reached an all-time peak in enrollments in the winter semester of 2006/07 with 26,600 matriculated students. Our courses in chemical engineering, bioengineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, and materials science are unmatched in North Bavaria.

 

Several programs are taught in English, such as chemical engineering, bioengineering and computational engineering. The new Erlangen Graduate School in Advanced Optical Technologies was established as part of the German government’s “Excellence Initiative.” Degree courses in molecular medicine, molecular science, mechatronics, techno-mathematics, business mathematics, and economic engineering are taught across subject and sometimes even faculty boundaries.

 

The students at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg shape the region of Nuremberg culturally, socially, and economically. They acquire knowledge and academic expertise and pass it on to the schools, industries, start-up enterprises, as well as to health services and administrative and communication-related fields. These well-educated and highly motivated university graduates are in great demand by employers in the Nuremberg metropolitan area.
