What can I study at Ulm University? What are the admission requirements, and what career prospects will I have afterwards? Pupils approaching the general higher education entrance qualification face many decisions and have lots of questions. On Wednesday, 18 November (9.00 am – 3.00 pm), they can find out everything they need to know about studying at Ulm University’s Study Information Day, learn about study programmes and attend talks and guided tours. No registration is required!
The approximately one thousand pupils will be welcomed by the Vice President for Teaching, Professor Birte Glimm (9.15 am, H4/5). At the information fair in the Forum, representatives and students from the various study programmes and faculties, as well as other internal and external contacts relating to university life, will be on hand at the stands. During the ‘Deep Dive’ (10.00–10.45 am and 1.15–2.00 pm), the various study programmes will be presented in detail, including their content and entry requirements. During the ‘Hands-on Science’ session (11.00–11.45 am and 2.15–3.00 pm), pupils will gain deeper scientific insights or have the chance to experiment, get involved and try things out for themselves. The ‘Behind the Scenes’ programme takes them on tours of laboratories, institutes and facilities. Visits can be made, for example, to the teaching hospital, the Botanical Garden or the multiple-partition column. Advance registration is required for some guided tours and ‘Hands-on Science’ activities at the respective faculty’s stand in the Uni-Forum; for all other activities, you can simply drop by.
Under the heading ‘All About Studying’, university services and external advisory centres offer guidance and support (12.15–1.00 pm and 2.15–3.00 pm). The central student advisory services provides information on admission and selection procedures. The Employment Agency’s careers advice service offers help with “Bridging options after the Abitur”, whilst the student services presents its accommodation options and provides advice on BAföG. For school pupils who are unable to come to Ulm, many of the Study Information Day’s afternoon sessions are also available online!
