A new semester is coming up and for some of you it’s your first semester at FAU. But no matter what semester you’re in, a great way to get to know other students and have cool experiences is through university groups! We offer everything a student needs to survive, from a wide range of activities, opportunities and chances to a great atmosphere and amazing people. That’s why we advise you: just drop by our introduction event at the Rote Platz on 17th of April between 10 am and 3 pm or go directly to a meeting of the university group of your choice. We are always happy to welcome new people!

Would you like to get involved socially alongside your studies? StudyTutors is currently looking for a few interested students who would like to take on tasks in the organizing team and who can ideally be involved for several semesters. StudyTutors matches students as volunteer tutors with pupils from low-income families who cannot afford paid tutoring. Almost all tasks can be completed online and communication is in German. If you are interested in becoming part of the organizing team, you can take part in the open meeting on March 20, 2024 at 8 p.m. via Zoom. For the link, send an email to studierende.erlangen@studytutors.de . Find StudyTutors on Social Media @erlangen.studytutors

The citizens’ petition “”Wohnraum erhalten” (“Preserve housing”) is campaigning for the preservation of housing and residential homes around the University Hospital in Erlangen’s city center, which are at risk due to the construction plans of the University Hospital and the city and are to be converted into offices. With a signature everyone can make his mark for affordable housing and against the destruction of lliving space in Erlangen. Erlangen needs more living space to counter the housing shortage among students.
All EU citizens who are of legal age and reside in Erlangen may sign the petition.
