Preliminary courses, Faculty of Mechatronics & Medical Technology

The preparatory course offered by the Faculty of Mechatronics and Medical Technology at Ulm University of Applied Sciences helps you get off to a successful start in your degree programme.  The course helps you make the transition from school or work to university easier, brush up on important basics and familiarise yourself with everyday student life at an early stage. This allows you to start your degree with greater confidence and a solid foundation.

General information

You'll also learn all other details about the preparatory course on the first day of the course. Participation in the preparatory course is, of course, optional.

Here’s some information in advance:

  • You don’t need to prepare anything for the preparatory course. We’ll go over everything on the first day. Enjoy the time leading up to it as much as you can—there will be plenty to do once you start your studies.
  • The focus of the preparatory course will be on getting to know each other and getting to know the university. We’llalso review basic math, which is a prerequisite for the program.
