Ulm University

Ulm University was founded in 1967 as the youngest university in Baden-Wuerttemberg and has kept evolving dynamically ever since. An attractive and future-oriented course catalogue, high-quality academic education, international diversity, interdisciplinarity and cutting-edge innovative research have become the trademarks. We provide more than 10,000 students across four faculties with top-level education and support. Our faculties Engineering, Computer Sciences and Psychology, Mathematics and Economics, Medicine and Natural Sciences offer in total over 60 study programmes in German and English. As a young research university, we are oriented towards the global challenges of the future: 12 strategic and interdisciplinary research themes are contributing to improvements in the areas of ageing, sustainability, technologies of the future as well as human health and well-being. Great success in the acquisition of third-party funding and numerous larger collaborative projects such as Collaborative Research Centres as well as a Cluster of Excellence are all testimonies to the University's research strength. Ulm University is the centre of and driving force behind the Science City of Ulm, a hub of university and other research institutions, maximum-care hospitals and technology companies.
