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. Especially the 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.
