Start of Studies: Welcome for first-year students
New life, new friends, new city: To ensure that first-year students quickly feel at home at FAU WiSo, there are not only a variety of introductory events, but also a very official welcome on October 13, 2025.
On this day, the school’s head and the Lord Mayor of the city of Nuremberg, Marcus König, will welcome the first-semester students. The welcome is held in German as well as in English for the Bachelor’s and Master’s students.
After the welcome, students have the possibility to visit WiSo’s info exhibition, where more than 30 facilities, institutions, initiatives and corporate partners of the WiSo introduce themselves. Many WiSo services and institutions, such as the Language Center and the University Library as well as the student organizations present themselves there. Student initiatives and corporate partners offer interesting information and insights. New students have the chance to familiarize themselves with all the possibilities and receive the information they need for a successful start to their studies.
In the afternoon, the inner courtyard of WiSo Nuremberg will be the venue for our get-together, including pretzels and drinks. Additionally, the WiSo City Tour provides the perfect opportunity to explore the city with fellow students while making new friends. During the guided tour, led by experienced students from higher semesters, you will get to know the most beautiful spots of Nuremberg and receive important information about FAU WiSo and the start of your studies. The WiSo City Tour is offered in both German and English.
Participation in the WiSo City Tour requires prior registration.
Registration period: September 22 – October 6, 2025.
