Graduation ceremony recognising the achievements of doctoral graduates and alumni

Finally completing a doctoral degree after devoting years of work to it is a very special occasion, and calls for a celebration.

Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) celebrates the achievements of new doctoral graduates with an awards ceremony and honors the achievements of all alumni who obtained a doctoral degree from FAU 15, 25, or 50 years ago.

All those who gained their doctoral degrees at FAU between April 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025 are invited to the joint graduation ceremony for all faculties on July 19, 2025.

A dinner will be held for alumni on July 18, 2025 and on July 19, alumni can meet and chat with the new doctoral graduates at the graduation ceremony.

Did you complete your doctoral degree at FAU in 1975, 2000 or 2010? Please, get in touch. We would like to celebrate with you!
