General Information on the application procedure
The application deadline is a cut-off deadline 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).

In the bachelor of science programmes without restricted admission all applicants will be admitted if they provide a university entrance qualification and proof of sufficient German language proficiency.

In the bachelor of science programmes with locally restricted admission Ulm University allocates the following places to foreign applicants:
 

Biochemistry Bachelor: 6 places in the winter semester
Biology Bachelor: 7 places in the winter semester
Molecular Medicine Bachelor: 4 places in the winter semester
Psychology Bachelor: 11 places in the winter semester

In the most recent admission procedures, all applicants for the bachelor programmes in Biochemistry, Biology and Psychology were granted places. We expect that all applicants for these programmes will be granted places also in the future.

However, demand for the bachelor programme in Molecular Medicine is very high. The allocation of the 4 places in the programme is based on the average grade of the university entrance qualification.

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.
