Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg ((ドイツ語:Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg)) better known as FAU is a public research university in the cities of Erlangen and Nuremberg in Bavaria, Germany. The name Friedrich-Alexander comes from the university's first founder Friedrich, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, and its benefactor Christian Frederick Charles Alexander, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach.〔 In Germany, traditional liberal arts universities do not usually have an engineering school or department. However, FAU does have a distinct engineering faculty. FAU is the second largest state university in the state Bavaria. It has 5 faculties, 23 departments/schools, 30 clinical departments, 19 autonomous departments, 656 professors, 3,404 members of academic staff and roughly 13,000 employees.〔http://www.uni-erlangen.org/university/stats.shtml uni-erlangen facts〕 In winter semester 2014/15 around 39,085 students (including 3,556 foreign students) enrolled in the university in 239 fields of study, with about 2/3 studying at the Erlangen campus and the remaining 1/3 at the Nuremberg campus. These statistics put FAU in the list of top 10 largest universities in Germany.〔 In 2013, 5251 students graduated from the university and 663 doctorates and 50 post-doctoral theses were registered. Moreover, FAU received 171 million Euro (2013) external funding in the same year, making it one of the strongest third-party funded universities in Germany.〔 In 2006 and 2007, as part of the national excellence initiative, FAU was chosen by the German Research Foundation as one of the winners in the German Universities Excellence Initiative.〔http://www.bmbf.de/pubRD/2012-06-15_Finale_Foerderliste_2.pdf〕 FAU is also a member of DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=DFG - Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft )〕 and the Top Industrial Managers for Europe〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=T.I.M.E. - Top Industrial Managers for Europe )〕 network. In Academic Ranking of World Universities for year 2014, FAU ranked second among German universities in Engineering/Technology and Computer Sciences group for all four ranking parameters ''TOP'', ''FUN'', ''HiCi'' and ''PUB''.〔http://www.shanghairanking.com/World-University-Rankings/University-of-Erlangen-Nuremberg.html Broad subject fields ranking of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg〕〔http://www.fau.de/universitaet/kennzahlen-und-rankings/rankings/ FAU at the forefront〕〔http://blogs.fau.de/international/2014/09/01/fau-among-global-leaders-in-chemistry-and-engineering/ FAU Among Global Leaders in Chemistry and Engineering〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Academic Ranking of World Universities in Engineering/Technology and Computer Sciences - 2014 - 2014 Top 100 Universities in Natural Sciences and Mathematics - ARWU-FIELD 2014 )〕 ==History== The university was founded in 1742 in Bayreuth by Frederick, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, and moved to Erlangen in 1743. Christian Frederick Charles Alexander, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach (one of the two namesakes of the institution) provided significant support to the early university. From the beginning, the university was a Protestant institution, but over time it slowly secularized. During the Nazi era, the university was one of the first that had a majority of Nazi supporters in the student council. In 1961 the business college in Nuremberg was merged with the university in Erlangen, so that now the combined institution has a physical presence in the two cities. An engineering school was inaugurated in 1966. In 1972 the school of education (normal school) in Nuremberg became part of the university. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of Erlangen-Nuremberg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
