Admission quotas for foreigners and admission criteria for UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES (1st SEMESTER IN THE PROGRAMME) Proof of an equivalent university entrance qualification entitling its holder to pursue the intended degree programme at Ulm University is an indispensable precondition for admission. In the degree programmes with locally restricted admission, i.e. Biochemistry, Biology, Molecular Medicine, Medicine, Psychology and Economics, Ulm University allocates 10 % of the available places to foreign applicants. At Ulm University, this results in the following number of places: Biochemistry Bachelor: 7 places in the winter semester Biology Bachelor: 9 places in the winter semester Biology Bachelor teacher training: 4 places in the winter semester Molecular Medicine Bachelor: 5 places in the winter semester Psychology Bachelor: 16 places in the winter semester Economics Bachelor: 20 places in the winter semester Economics Bachelor teacher training: 1 place in the winter semester The selection of applicants is based mainly on the average grade of the university entrance qualification and, additionally, on the result of the TestAS (Test for Academic studies). The average grade of the university entrance qualification is raised if the result of the TestAS shows a standard score of 100 to 130. For a standard score between 100 and 110, it is raised by 0.2; between 111 and 120, by 0.3; and between 121 and 130, by 0.5. If no TestAS was done or the results shows a standard score below 100, the average grade is not raised. (For further information on TestAS and the test centres go to www.testas.de)

The programmes in Human Medicine and Dentistry -state examination-, which have restricted access in the whole of Germany, 5 % of the places available at German universities are allocated to foreign applicants. Number of places reserved at Ulm University: Human Medicine: 16 places in the winter semester Dentistry: 1 place in the summer semester and 1 place in the winter semester Please find the Information regarding the selection procedure for these two programmes here.
