General Information on the application procedure
Application deadlines for both the summer and the winter semester are cut-off deadlines for all study courses. Late or incomplete applications can therefore not be considered. The university is not obliged to investigate the facts of the application ex officio should papers/documents be missing or incomplete. This also applies if there are further documents from another application procedure still at the university.
Before beginning their study programme, prospective students who did not obtain their university entrance qualification at a German-speaking institution/ in a German-taught study programme, need to supply proof of German language competence enabling them to study at university level unless they are exempted for some reason.
At Ulm University, we accept the following certificates as proof of sufficient command of German. These certificates have been recognized as equivalent to each other by the “Kultusministerkonferenz (KMK)” (Conference of the German Ministers of Culture).
The state examination programmes in Human Medicine and Dentistry, which have restricted access in the whole of Germany, 5 % of the places available at German universities are allocated to foreign applicants.
Number of places reserved at Ulm University:
Human Medicine: 17 places in the winter semester
Dentistry: 1 place in the summer semester and 1 place in the winter semester
Please find the information regarding the selection procedure for these two programmes here.
In the bachelor of science programmes with locally restricted admission, i.e. Biochemistry, Biology, Teaching Biology, Molecular Medicine, Psychology and Teaching Economics, Ulm University allocates 10 % of the available places to foreign applicants.
At Ulm University, this results in the following number of places:
Biochemistry Bachelor: 7 places in the winter semester
Biology Bachelor: 9 places in the winter semester
Teaching Biology: 4 places in the winter semester
Molecular Medicine Bachelor: 5 places in the winter semester
Psychology Bachelor: 15 places in the winter semester
Teaching Economics: 1 place in the winter semester
In the most recent admission procedures, all applicants for the programmes in Biochemistry, Biology, Teaching Biology, Psychology and Teaching Economics were granted places. We expect that all applicants for these programmes will be granted places also in the future.
However, demand for the programme in Molecular Medicine is very high. The allocation of the 5 places in the programme is based on this selection procedure.
Foreign applicants who cannot be admitted direct to university according to the applicable regulations on university admission must take a test assessing their aptitude to pursue academic studies (assessment test = “Feststellungsprüfung”) and attend a “Studienkolleg” before taking up their studies.
