Nermin Al Aoua has been studying Middle Eastern Studies (M.A.) at Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg since October 2025. Prior to that, she studied Political Science and Arabic/Islamic Studies (B.A.) at Georg August University Göttingen.

Since November 2025, she has been working as a student assistant at the Chair of Oriental Philology and Islamic Studies at FAU and at the Bavarian Research Institute for Interreligious Discourse (BaFID), where her responsibilities include social media management.
Her academic interests lie in the field of politics and society in the Middle East, particularly in issues of migration, international relations, and intercultural dialogue.
