Course selection:
You will find the course catalogue and the distribution of courses to the different languages at our download center.
The actual course catalogue with the corresponding timetable will be posted by the end of August in the App „Untis“. You will have access to it when being in Erlangen in september.
Insert the courses you initially choose in the provisional Learning Agreement. You can either send it to us once signed by your local Erasmus+ Coordinator or bring it with you to be signed in Erlangen and then sent to your home university.
The initial Learning Agreement is allways a provisional one. Once in Erlangen you will have enough time and help to adjust it to your needs and level. If you have any questions about it, do contact us.
Accomodation:
Tell us as soon as possible whether you will look for accomodation of your own or if you prefer to get a room in a student’s residence – run by the Official Student’s Office of the university – with our help.
