Advisory services

The Central Student Advisory Service (Zentrale Sudienberatung) is the first point of contact for all questions related to choosing and pursuing a degree programme.

We support you in the period of transition between school and studies, as well as between studies and work and in the difficult phases of your studies.

Please find more information on the page of the Central Student Advisory Service

 

The course advisors help with questions regarding the programme content (structure and topics) and are responsible for questions that are predominantly subject-specific. They advise on the studyability of the subject, on the selection of elective modules or on the special features of the programme (internships, mobile modules abroad, etc.).

The beginning of your academic studies introduces you to a world of independence, new experiences, people and environments. This new life requires more energy and attention, even more so when dealing with a health impairment.

Ulm University wants to support and provide an equal footing to all students. This includes, in particular, students with mobility, visual or hearing impairments, chronic physical or mental illnesses, or specific learning disabilities (SLD). Our advisory service is available to current and prospective students of Ulm University.
