Study and research at the highest level
As a young research university, Ulm University is dedicated to addressing the global challenges of the future – at the highest level. This is quite literally the case, as we are the highest-altitude university in Germany.
We stand out thanks to our clear focus on medicine and STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), the excellent quality of our education, and our top-level research. We educate around 10,000 students. Research and teaching are linked by curiosity, passion and commitment – at the highest level. We set the pace within the Science City, Ulm's centre of technology and knowledge transfer.
Research
At Ulm University, we focus on four future-oriented profile areas: Green Energy, Quantum Technologies, Life-long Health, and Interdisciplinary Data Sciences & Artificial Intelligence. We enjoy an excellent reputation globally in these areas and set standards with our research.
Study
Our four faculties offer more than 60 study programmes taught in German and English. They provide a custom-made range of courses for tomorrow's professionals. Our graduates have excellent job and career prospects.
Knowledge transfer
Our scientific findings directly benefit the economy, society and politics and contribute to prosperity and growth in the region. As the beating heart of the Science City Ulm, we are the driving force behind this centre of research institutions, high-tech companies and hospitals.
Excellent in battery research
On the Green Energy Campus, our scientists are conducting research in POLiS (Post Lithium Storage), the only cluster of excellence for battery research in Germany.
Pioneers of quantum research
Our quantum scientists are among the world's leading experts in their field. Their goal is to understand and control quantum systems, and to use them for cutting-edge technologies.
