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.).

Please find more information on the page of the Course advisors

 

You are studying and are a mum or dad-to-be? Congratulations! You already have children and would like to start studying? A good decision! We offer comprehensive advisory services adapted to the life situation for students with family commitments or about to become parents. This means offering quick and practical solutions that support students in their individual situations.  Issues addressed are, for example, maternity leave and parental leave, financial support, childcare, individual study planning, semesters on leave and much more.

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.

The counselling offered by our Psychosocial Counselling Service (PBS) is open to all students at Ulm University and the higher education institutions in Aalen, Biberach, Heidenheim, Schwäbisch Gmünd and Ulm served by the Studierendenwerk (student services) Ulm. The PBS offers students competent advice and help in ­solving psychosocial ­problems and questions as ­individual counselling (in German or English).

We advise you individually on learning difficulties, exam nerves, personal problems and difficulties in your studies and everyday life. The counselling service is free of charge.

Study organisation

Exam administration

It is always useful to know about the "rules" in your degree programme. Which exams must be completed by when? How often can exams be repeated? This information can be found at Study and Exam Regulations.

Here you will find instructions and assistance on Moodle (online portal on which numerous lecture videos, recordings and learning materials are made available) and Zoom (live video conference, often used for online lecturing).
