FAQ

I can’t find / register for a course in campo.fau.de.

  • The module list at campo is not complete. Please refer to the list in the study guide.
  • For lectures, in general you don’t need to register at campo, but only for the exam (from about middle of November on). You have to register in studon for lectures, exercises etc. to gain access to scriptums, additional material etc.

I like to register at vhb (Virtuelle Hochschule Bayern) for courses.

  • Please notice, that all vhb courses listed as specialization modules in ACES are generally permitted.
  • You only have to ask the study-service-center if you want to take other vhb courses, that are not listed, e.g. as elective module.

Late arrival: Due to a late appointment in the German embassy, I will not be able to get my visa and start studying in Erlangen when the semesters begin.

  • If the visa process takes even longer, you also don’t need be worried: you could enroll via post mail for the summer semester 2023 and choose online courses at FAU (some of our specialization modules are online). Then you have to be in Erlangen from August 2023 on for the exams, who take place in presence.
