With the Higher Education Act of the Federal State of Baden-Württemberg, which came into force in 2005, the legislator transferred more decision-making autonomy and responsibility to the universities. It significantly strengthens the position of the rectorate. The University Council supports it as a controlling body, similar to a supervisory board as far as its function is concerned. At the same time, the Act increases the self-responsibility of the faculties.
The bodies of self-administration of the Hochschule Ulm encompass the University Council, the Senate, the Faculty Council, the student representation group, and the Staff Council.
The increasing scarcity of resources worldwide calls for a fundamental change in the relationship between economics, ecology, and society.
As universities for engineering, information technology, and media, we prepare our students for this change and equip them with vital tools for a secure and sustainable future.
We impart technical expertise conscious of our social responsibility, conserve natural resources, further use renewable resources, develop innovative technologies, and use them in a socially acceptable way.
The Ulm University of Applied Science is embedded in the regional economy.
In light of technical, economic, and societal developments, we continually adjust the contents of our degree courses. At the same time, we ensure our students' competitiveness in the international labor market and promote their intercultural competence and knowledge of foreign languages.
We ensure the practical orientation of research and teaching through intensive contact with our industry partners and other sectors of the economy. We develop new courses in conjunction with these partners.
Advanced and up-to-date teaching depends on lecturers engaging in applied research, development, and project work. We expressly support such activities and thus facilitate student's and companies' active participation in our research and its results.
Our culture of learning and working promotes the dialogue between students and lectures. Personal suitability, professional engagement, and experience in research and development guarantee our staff's academic competence.
Personal responsibility and entrepreneurial spirit strengthen both the developmental perspectives of the individual and those of the university.
As a university, we develop our concepts for entrepreneurial initiatives. Through training and consultancy, we foster the founding of spin-off companies by our students.
Through joint activity and experience in our community, we create a university culture that is open to all ages and nationalities.
Inherent to this culture are the convictions that lifelong learning is vital for professional success and a readiness to engage in international exchange invaluable. The contact continuously influences the university culture we maintain with our graduates personally, socially, and technically. This strengthens the link with the community for which the university is an important focus.
