U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

In-depth specialisation is possible within a wide range comprising astrophysics and astroparticle physics, condensed matter physics, optical sciences, physics in life sciences, or theoretical physics. With a broad range of lab courses the experimental skills are trained. Alternatively, computer "experiments" are offered for theory-oriented students. The Master's course concludes with a 1-year research phase, part of which encompasses writing the Master's thesis.

The Chemistry degree programme in Erlangen is characterised by high academic demands and the close supervision of students. This applies to both the personal contact between teaching staff and students as well as the support by student tutors and the individual guidance our students receive from the study coordinator, the dean of studies and the Student Service Centre. Carefully coordinated and timed semester curricula are offered for the extensive number of courses. Examination dates are coordinated with each other.

The elite study course starts in the 3rd semester of the Bachelor's course and includes the BSc and MSc degrees. Special elements, both in BSc and MSc, are individual research projects performed in reasearch grous of the department, bringing the students early-on in contact with the research frontier and strengthening their independence; study workshops, where students report on their projects and discuss with peers, professors, and invited speakers; integrated courses taught jointly by an experimentalist and a theorist, with only a few students per semester.

The Bachelor's study course combines mandatory elements such as courses in mathmatics (for physicists), in experimental and theoretical physics, and lab courses, with a broad spectrum of elective courses, both in physics and in subjects other than physics. In the first two semesters, a course in one of astronomy, chemistry, computerscience, physical chemistry, or material sciences must be chosen. The lab courses cover modern electronics and lab projects in small tutorial groups. The Bachelor's course concludes with a 3-month research project.

The elite study course starts in the 3rd semester of the Bachelor's course and includes the BSc and MSc degrees. Special elements, both in BSc and MSc, are individual research projects performed in reasearch grous of the department, bringing the students early-on in contact with the research frontier and strengthening their independence; study workshops, where students report on their projects and discuss with peers, professors, and invited speakers; integrated courses taught jointly by an experimentalist and a theorist, with only a few students per semester.

Der Studiengang zeichnet sich durch eine umfassende Ausbildung in naturwissenschaftlichen, mathematischen sowie technischen Grundlagen aus, beginnend mit einer Einführung in das Chemieingenieurwesen gefolgt von spezifischen Lehrveranstaltungen in jedem Fachsemester. In der zweiten Studienhälfte folgt die Vertiefung in den Bereichen chemische, thermische und mechanische Verfahrenstechnik sowie Anlagen-/Apparatebau. Eine Besonderheit ist die gemeinsame Ausbildung an digitalen Werkzeugen, die zur Simulation verfahrenstechnischer Grundoperationen verwendet werden, im Rahmen des Laborpraktikums.

Sensorsystemtechnik ist ein berufsbegleitender Masterstudiengang. Das durchgängig modular aufgebaute Studienangebot bietet Hochschulabsolvent*innen technischer Fachrichtungen die Möglichkeit eines weitgehend räumlich und zeitlich unabhängigen Online-Studiums kombiniert mit wenigen Präsenzphasen. Der Masterstudiengang verknüpft Hardware, Software und Infrastrukturaspekte mit Entwurfstechniken sowie Elementen des Managements komplexer Entwurfsprozesse. Durch die Interaktion können Ergebnisse erzielt werden, die die einzelnen Elemente isoliert betrachtet nicht erreichen können.
