Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU)

With over 275 degree programs, excellent research, and international partnerships, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) shapes science and society. In close collaboration with the FAU Brand Office, we fundamentally reimagined the university's digital presence in 2025 as a central platform for studies, research, and knowledge transfer, and as a unifying umbrella for around 1,100 faculty and institution-related portals.

The ambition: to evolve from an obligatory institutional website into a presence that showcases FAU in all its strength. A modular design system with clear design rules, flexible content modules, and reusable components enables consistent content while providing sufficient independence for the individual portals. Minimalist typography, a structured color system, and a consistently documentary visual language provide a shared visual framework for FAU's diversity.

Special attention was given to user guidance for prospective students, researchers, and staff. Clear entry points, contextual linking, and structured detail pages support diverse information needs. The result: a website that highlights FAU as a high-performing, internationally oriented university—device-independent, clearly structured, accessible, and future-proof.
