Shape the digital future!
Our degree programmes
Biomedical Engineering
New from the 2023/24 winter semester. Shape the future of Biomedical Engineering, personalise Medicine, develop new technologies for the long-term benefit of patients, digitise the healthcare system, and invent new methods for diagnostics and rehabilitation. The Biomedical Engineering degree programme at Ulm University offers a multidisciplinary engineering education at the interface between Medicine and Biology.
Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
Electric mobility, the energy transition, Medical Engineering, robots, computer chips, Information Technology. All these forward-looking technologies share a common foundation: Electrical Engineering as a classic discipline within Engineering. It deals with the applications of electricity and the physical phenomena associated with it. However, the scope of modern Electrical Engineering extends far beyond this horizon.
Communications and Computer Engineering
The Communications and Computer Engineering degree programme combines the core subjects of Electrical Engineering with those of Computer Science, such as communications and control engineering, telecommunications and information theory, radio-frequency engineering and electronics – in other words, the Fundamentals of hardware – with system programming, computer networks and architecture, and operating systems – in other words, the Fundamentals of software.
