Events for students

According to recent studies, 11 per cent of students have a disability that makes their studies more difficult. However, only six per cent of those affected have disabilities that are immediately apparent. Many young people therefore live with invisible disabilities, such as diabetes, epilepsy, an autism spectrum disorder or a mental disorder.

This event provides an overview of the support services and regulations available for studying with a disability or chronic illness at Ulm University. You will also have the opportunity to ask individual questions on the following topics:

• Planning your studies
• compensation for disadvantages (Nachteilsausgleich)
• Absences and semester(s) on leave of absence, etc.
• Support services and contact persons

Studying whilst juggling family responsibilities – a wonderful challenge!

As a family-friendly university, Ulm University of Applied Sciences offers you a wide range of support options, which we’d like to introduce to you in collaboration with StuVe.

This event will take place in a relaxed atmosphere and offer the chance to build a network amongst parents, share experiences and receive important information.

The event will take place at Café Einstein, in the passageway between N24 and M24.
Additional info: please bring a drink or snack of your choice – it’ll be a relaxed get-together. Children are, of course, welcome!

Effective learning instead of cramming for hours on end: in this workshop, you’ll learn tried-and-tested learning techniques that really work.
Discover how to understand material more quickly, retain it in the long term and prepare specifically for exams.

With practical tips and methods you can put into practice straight away, you’ll get more out of your study time!

As you begin your studies, a whole new world opens up to you, in which you will get to know Ulm University as a new environment for learning and living. To help you get started and find your feet, we would like to familiarise you with the teaching and learning forms typical of university life during the induction camp. Among other things, you’ll practise dealing with a large volume of material using Mathematics and/or Chemistry, as mathematical and chemical methods form the basis for many degree subjects. This will reinforce your self-organisation and, by developing your individual working techniques, refine your study, learning and exam strategies.

In almost every subject, you’ll find supplementary lectures or introductory projects that are closely linked to the subject. The programme is rounded off by additional sessions focusing on how to maintain a healthy work-life balance throughout your studies, how to gain an insight into the organisation of your studies and examinations, and how to make the most of the University of Ulm’s library services and online resources.

Detailed information about the training camp is available here.

This workshop focuses on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into your own studies. Participants will learn how AI can effectively support teaching and learning, whilst also discussing the challenges and potential solutions in this area. The main aim of the session is to provide participants with theoretically sound knowledge of learning and AI skills required for the successful use of AI tools. This interactive workshop focuses on learning techniques for using AI applications such as ChatGPT. This enables participants to develop their own creative ideas for using AI within their educational context. A GDPR-compliant ChatGPT4 will be provided so that participants can actively work with the AI without having to enter any personal data. There will be ample opportunity for a lively exchange between participants to discuss how these new practical skills can and may be initiated effectively in their studies.
