Study Advisory Service

Advice and support regarding your studies in Medical Enginering, e.g.:

  • admission requirements
  • questions regarding your studies
  • support with formalities during your studies
  • changing your study program
  • accreditation of achievements

For questions regarding the Medical Engineering program, please also read our FAQs and the Information for current students. For general study advice (not directly related to our Medical Engineering program), you can also refer to FAU’s Central Study Advisory Service. If you need psychological support in situations of crisis don’t hesitate to get in touch with our psychological counseling service at the Faculty of Engineering. If you need urgent psychological support, please call the Bavarian crisis hotline (available 24/7 in 120 languages).
The study advisory service for Medical Engineering is happy to offer you on-site consultation sessions. Please note that spontaneous drop-ins are not possible, but you can book an appointment via our booking tool (click HERE). Please register for your preferred time slot and wait for the confirmation email stating that your appointment has been booked successfully.
