Preparatory steps

Following documents are required

  • completed application form (PDF)
  • evidence of your achievements
  • learning agreement, module description(s) or course description(s)
  • current transcript of records of your study programme at Ulm University

Additionally, if applicable

  • additional pages to the application form
