Will I get in
The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.
Programme selection →About the programme
If you decide to study human medicine, you don't just choose a job. The profession of doctor is characterized by great responsibility. It demands decision-making security, lifelong learning and constant commitment to the patients entrusted to it. The same applies to the decision to take up a career in research or teaching after successfully completing a degree. At the Medical Faculty of Ulm University, we will prepare you as best as possible for this major task.

Modern study concept with a varied learning system: med @ ulm
The innovative Ulm teaching and learning concept med @ ulm is a lively, modern range of courses. The focus is on the success of our students: We promote the acquisition of interdisciplinary medical qualifications and team-based learning. We ensure the quality of medical teaching through comprehensive evaluation. New didactic elements, which are often only offered in so-called reform courses, make it easier for our students to study the extensive material. Blended learning modules with virtual and mobile learning elements via the university's own app alternate with presence phases in the lecture, in the skills or virtual reality lab and during observation.
Individual focus? With pleasure.
A particular advantage of the concept lies in the individualization of the courses offered for our medical students in the form of a personal focus. Various additionally selectable study tracks enable the focus on special disciplines for committed students, PJ students and doctoral candidates. That is our goal: to implement real promotion of young talent.
Learning in practice - right from the start
The holistic training approach enables our students to provide very good practical and patient-oriented treatment. The faculty's own training hospital TTU (ToTrainYou), which was completed in 2021, will offer unique intensive training courses in an almost realistic environment. For this purpose, simulated general practitioner consulting rooms, clinic rooms, operating theaters and a shock room are available. The personal atmosphere of our campus university, the study in small units and the direct, uncomplicated contact with the lecturers guarantee comprehensive support during the course.
We want you to receive the best training - personal, individual, focused.
What you study
The med @ ulm training concept is characterized by the fact that we have developed and integrated highly modern and innovative study elements on the basis of proven traditions. We offer our students the best of both worlds: innovation and tradition, classic studies and the greatest possible individuality.

The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2German up to C1 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application via uni-assist until 15.07uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 5Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
