The teaching language of these degree programmes is English.

For our International Degree Programmes, which are exclusively taught in English, proof of knowledge of the German language is not required at the time of your application and enrolment and will not affect your application in a negative way. However, a basic knowledge of the German language is of paramount importance for living and seeking a job in Germany. FAU offers a wide range of opportunities to learn German in a fast and effective way and will support you in such endeavours.

All students with a native language other than German need to prove a German language proficiency level of A1 (or equivalent) at the end of their first academic year at FAU. For more information please contact your degree programme coordinator.
