## About

Ulm is in Baden-Württemberg, a smaller city with strong healthcare and tech sectors. Student life is quieter than Munich or Stuttgart, but the proximity to engineering hubs and medical clusters means serious internship density for students of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).

## Strengths

- Public university with €3,000/year non-EU tuition — significantly lower than private German alternatives charging €10,000–20,000.
- Covers high-demand fields: medicine, engineering, computer science, and natural sciences — strong match for CIS students targeting science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) careers.
- An EU degree opens Schengen mobility and an 18-month German post-study job-seeker visa for graduates.
- Students may work 120 full days or 240 half days per year legally, helping offset living costs.
- Baden-Württemberg hosts global industrial companies like Bosch and Daimler, creating real internship pathways in engineering and tech.
- IELTS 6.5 entry threshold is attainable for well-prepared CIS applicants without requiring near-native proficiency.

## Watch out for

- Baden-Württemberg charges non-EU students an extra €1,500 per semester — this adds €3,000/year on top of the stated tuition.
- Germany requires proof of funds via a blocked account (Sperrkonto), around €11,904 for 2024-25, before a student visa is issued.
- Most bachelor programmes at German public universities are taught in German; daily life in Ulm also demands solid German skills.
- Non-EU school leavers without a recognised university-entrance certificate typically must complete a preparatory year (Studienkolleg) first.
- Ulm is a mid-sized city with a limited local job market; students seeking part-time work or internships may need to look to Stuttgart or Munich.
