Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen- Nürnberg, Germany
The University Erlangen-Nurnberg was founded in 1743 and is the second largest university of southern Germany. Nearly all branches of study are available. Erlangen is economically coined by the business concern Siemens as well as by Erlangen's worldwide reputation as internationally acknowledged medical city ("Medical Valley"). About half of all university employees works in one of the numerous university clinics.
The Faculty of Engineering Sciences which includes all offered engineering sciences was founded on an own separate campus in 1966. It combines many advantages which makes the Faculty an interesting study place for students and scholars.
It is closely located to successful and technic-oriented enterprises and therefore provides a good starting point for cooperation and throughout new impulses for innovative, application-oriented technical developments.
The Faculty of Engineering disposes of a multitude of modern labs and shops (chemistry labs, high pressure labs, wind tunnel, robotics laboratories, graphic/virtual reality laboratory, mechanic and electronic shops). In short: everything is available that makes the heart of an engineer beat faster.
The technical institutes of Erlangen have a high reputation. Numerous professors can show awards and own patents. The Mp3-format for instance was developed in Erlangen in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits.
The Faculty of Engineering has many relations to well-known universities abroad. The closeness to the Siemens Group and various Fraunhofer Institutes constitutes good perspectives for a successful professional life as well.
