Study

The personal relationship and the ratio of teachers to learners in the engineering degree programmes at Ulm University can be described as excellent. The practice sessions and tutorials are organised in small groups. The formation of learning groups is encouraged; additional offers such as learning lounges and the use of electronic communication and learning platforms make it easier to get started in this versatile field of study, especially in the first semesters. A relationship of trust exists between students, professors and assistants. Teachers as well as the student tutors from higher semesters are committed to supporting the academic success of each individual student.

Ulm University offers:

  • Small teaching and study groups
  • Excellent hardware and software equipment in the labs for research and teaching
  • Comprehensive e-learning options
  • Involvement of institutes with high third-party funding in national and international technology research projects, therefore particularly high practical relevance in teaching
  • Research projects with budgets of several million euros annually financed by industrial and academic institutions

The study objective is a broad education in engineering sciences combined with competencies from medicine and biology. The degree, which is both professionally qualifying and research-related, enables graduates to solve biomedical engineering problems. The degree programme thus focuses on teaching basic engineering knowledge, system and methodological competences, as well as the ability to work and communicate in an interdisciplinary and cross-domain manner.

In the modules of the first semesters, the basics of mathematics and physics, electrical engineering and information technology, biomedical engineering and human biology are covered. From the 4th semester onwards, the contents of the main research areas of biomedical engineering at Ulm University are taught. In addition, key skills such as programming and project management are trained, as well as additive transferable skills to enhance interdisciplinary competence and language skills. Acquired knowledge and skills are applied in projects and the bachelor's thesis with reference to clinical and medical research.

Curriculum will be available soon

Biomedical engineering encompasses many more disciplines than a single university could cover. A great way to broaden your horizon in a subject area is to study at a higher education institution abroad. Students of Ulm University can apply for one or two semesters abroad at numerous universities, both throughout Europe within the framework of the ERASMUS programme and outside Europe. If it is not to be lectures, internships and theses at other universities are also possible.

Ulm University has exchange agreements with over 100 universities in 26 countries. Partner universities in the engineering sciences can be found in Europe, Canada, Australia and the USA, among others.
