Course Descriptions / Module Handbooks

Note:

The course catalog ("Veranstaltungen") lists all available courses in general. However, some of them might not be offered during your exchange semester / year. Therefore you should list more courses in your learning agreement than you are going to take. - If you don't find a course code, just leave it blank in your learning agreement.

For every incoming exchange student Ulm University International Office will schedule an appointment with an academic counselor shortly before the beginning of the lecture period to advise and assist with the final course selection.
