The Ulm University of Applied Sciences is a university for applied sciences in Ulm . With its 6 faculties, it houses 18 Bachelor, 7 Master and 10 dual study programs. Ulm University of Applied Sciences is spread over three locations: Prittwitzstrasse, Eberhard-Finckh-Strasse and Albert-Einstein-Allee.
history
In 1960 the predecessor institution “State Engineering School ” was founded with the four courses of study mechanical engineering (construction), mechanical engineering (manufacturing), communications engineering and precision engineering. Since 1971 it had the rank of a technical college . Due to the new state university law, in 2006 it was renamed "Hochschule Ulm". Since March 1, 2019, the university has been called "Technical University of Ulm".
architecture
The Prittwitzstrasse campus of the Ulm University of Applied Sciences was designed by the architect Günter Behnisch at the end of the 1950s . In 2001 it was added to the list of cultural monuments because of the prefabricated concrete components used and has been a listed building since then . Construction began in July 1961. The building was occupied in November 1962. The reduction to the few materials used, such as concrete, steel and glass, is characteristic; the organic integration of the construction into the hillside and the clear, timeless design language of the building. As the first large building in the state of Baden-Württemberg , the Ulm University of Applied Sciences was constructed with industrially manufactured concrete parts in the shell and construction. Since the manufacture of a wide variety of concrete parts in Germany was not possible to the industrial standard, a special Dutch technology was used for this.

Foreign relations
The university has cooperation agreements with universities in 20 countries and a total of 55 partnerships on all five continents. Students at Ulm University of Applied Sciences have the opportunity to study for a semester at one of the 140 partner universities or to carry out their practical semester or their thesis abroad.
With the "Danube Universities" project, the university operates an international network between colleges, universities and industry along the Danube in the field of regenerative energy and efficient energy use, which organizes various exchange formats for teaching, research and development.
Facilities
Research, development and transfer at the Ulm University of Applied Sciences have an independent profile that is derived from the educational mandate of the universities. Ulm University of Applied Sciences has 12 faculty institutes, which primarily serve practical teaching, but in which research projects are also carried out. The umbrella organization for the research activities of the Ulm University of Applied Sciences is the Institute for Applied Research (IAF) as an independent central institution. The IAF conducts departmental research as well as contract research for companies.
Automotive Center
The Automotive Center is part of the Institute for Vehicle Systems (IFS). In addition to laboratory, office and workshop rooms, it has three large test stands at industrial level:
- Mobile hydraulics test bench
- Roller dynamometer
- Engine test bench
The test rigs are used in cross-faculty teaching as well as in application-oriented research projects in vehicle technology, vehicle electronics and mobile hydraulics.
Hydraulics competence center
The Hydraulics Competence Center was founded in 2012 and is financed exclusively from private funds. The founding members have pledged over one million euros for five years in order to create a platform for the further development of specialist hydraulics training and research and to strengthen their own innovative strength. The center of the Ulm University of Applied Sciences currently bundles the hydraulics expertise of almost 20 companies in southern Germany, whose competitiveness depends to a large extent on qualified young people with relevant hydraulics knowledge. The IHK Ulm supports the initiative with 50,000 euros per year. State-of-the-art laboratory equipment for teaching and applied research includes a valve test bench in the machine laboratory, a hydraulic test bench in the automotive center and a test facility for fluids and oil condition sensors.
ZAFH service robotics
The Center for Applied Research at Universities of Applied Sciences (ZAFH) conducts research at the Ulm University of Applied Sciences in the field of service robotics, in which algorithms and processes are developed to make service robots more reliable, more suitable for everyday use and less expensive. It was set up as part of a competitive tender as a research association of the universities of applied sciences Ulm (coordinator), Ravensburg-Weingarten and Mannheim, in order to bundle and strengthen the excellent applied research in the field of service robotics and expand it into a cluster of excellence. In the period from January 1, 2008 to March 31, 2013, funding took place within the framework of the Future Offensive IV "Innovation and Excellence" and the European Regional Development Fund ( ERDF ). The ZAFH will continue to operate as a cluster of excellence beyond the funding phase and will continue to serve as a point of contact and contact person for the innovation topic of everyday service robots.
ZAFH MikroSens
The ZAFH “MikroSens - Innovative Millimeter Wave Sensor Technology for Industrial Applications” aims to make new and highly integrated millimeter wave technology for various fields of application accessible to small and medium-sized companies in the state. In the research project, the University of Ulm, the University of Heilbronn and the University of Pforzheim are working together with the University of Ulm on the implementation of this technology for new measurement tasks, for example in production and environmental technology. The project started in September 2015 and is funded with around 1.4 million euros from the state of Baden-Württemberg and the European Union.
Student representation
Since October 2013 the student representation of the Ulm University of Applied Sciences has been organized under the name "VS Ulm". The VS Ulm advocates the interests of the students in the Senate, the faculty councils and the study commissions.
In addition to the political representation, VS Ulm also organizes various social activities at the Ulm University of Applied Sciences, such as the Christmas party, the Grill'n'Chill summer festival or the orientation week for the first semester introduction.
