Taster courses

What is a taster course?

Taster courses are offered by FAU in conjunction with the FAU INTEGRA project. The aim of the courses is to integrate refugees into a degree programme at FAU.

Taster courses are open to refugees only and are not regular degree programmes. Participants do not gain any qualifications and the courses are limited to a maximum of two semesters. They are not eligible for BAföG funding.

In which degree programmes can I take a taster course?

You can be admitted to a taster course for Bachelor’s degree programmes without admission restrictions only.

What are the advantages?

Enrolling for a taster course at FAU has several advantages:

  • Participation in selected lectures and seminars
  • Insights into university life in Germany
  • Study orientation and the opportunity to learn specialist vocabulary
  • Access to University services and institutions (e.g. library, semester ticket, student cafeteria)
  • Excellent preparation for studying at FAU as a regular student.

Any examinations successfully passed during a taster course can be accredited for a regular degree programme on request.

Requirements

Prerequisites for participating in taster courses:

  • Registration with FAU INTEGRA
  • Qualifications that entitle you to study in Germany (e.g. university entrance qualification (equivalent to Abitur in Germany), Bachelor’s degree)
