Description
The hallmark of the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg today, 260 years after its foundation is our commitment to both tradition and innovation. Our university offers a wide spectrum of subjects, the diversity and interdisciplinary integration of which is unique in Germany. We see this 'integrated diversity' as the key feature that enables us to enhance our profile in research and teaching while at the same time promoting the process of internationalisation more intensively.
