Offers for schools and high schools
Professors visit schools (ProfIS)
As part of the ProfiS program, professors from the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering (CBI) offer to visit schools to give a presentation of about 30 minutes on an exciting topic from their current research.
It is very important to us to present scientific and technical subjects to students in an exciting way and to show how valuable they are for our everyday lives.
| Target group: | Pupils in grade 11 or higher |
| Subject: | Chemistry, biology, physics or scientific-technical subjects. |
| Cost: | Free of charge |
The focus of our current programme is sustainability.
This offer is available for schools in Germany only.
FAU Studieninfotage (FAU Study Information Days)
The FAU Studieninfotage take place each year in September.
We introduce you to our degree programs at FAU, give you insights into job perspectives of our degree programmes and possibilities to study abroad.
This offer is in German only.

Mach MINT! (STEM event promoting women in engineering)
Young people hardly know any female role models from the technical and scientific fields.
The women’s representatives of the Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Sciences invite school classes to FAU to learn more about female pioneers and researchers in the STEM field and the STEM degree programs at FAU. We want to ensure that women in science become more visible to encourage students to study STEM subjects.
The school classes interactively get to know female scientists who still influence our lives today through their work, research and discovery. Along the way, the students can learn about the STEM degree programs at FAU.

Förderkreis Ingenieurstudium (association that organizes events and projects related to STEM and engineering subjects)
The Förderkreis Ingenieurstudium e.V., with its office located at the Faculty of Engineering, promotes the engineering profession and engineering studies to students, parents and teachers. With its projects, the association contributes to the exchange of information between schools, universities, research institutions, engineering associations and companies. In addition, activities are promoted and initiated to increase the attractiveness of the subjects physics, mathematics, engineering, chemistry and biology.

Schnupper Uni (Subject specific information event)
The Faculty of Engineering offers a wide range of study opportunities. During the “Schnupperuni”, an information event, pupils from the 10th grade onwards can get to know our faculty and many study programs including those of our department up close. Interested pupils can take part in live experiments, exercises and laboratory tours for study orientation and also get to know students and lecturers. Of course, there is also the opportunity to ask questions about studying and to get advice on study programs.
The next “Schnupperuni” will take place 30.10. – 03.11.2023
Girl's Day
- For girls in grades 5 through 11.
Girls can gain an insight into technical degree programmes at various stations where live experiments and exercises are conducted.
The programme is in German.
Mädchen und Technik (Girls and Technology)
You want to get to know technology and physics from a completely different perspective? Then this is the right place for you!
- For girls in grades 7 through 12
- experiments are assigned after registration
At the girls-and-technology internship you will get an insight into a variety of professions in science and technology. You can perform experiments that are offered by different departments of the Faculty of Engineering and cover many fields. You can see what experiments are available under “Experiments”.
What can you expect?
- Lots of information about the Faculty of Technology and life in STEM professions
- Talks with female scientists
- Exciting experimental stations
- Excursions to a company in the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region
This offer is available in German only.
Forscherinnen Camp (Researcher camp)
- for female high school and technical college students (FOS) (15 years and older)
- practical career and study orientation in the engineering profession
During the camp week, the participants are given the opportunity to work on an engineering-related problem – partly in the company and partly at the university – and can thus experience the engineering profession at first hand.
