In 1963 she began her studies at the Institute for Film Design in Ulm, which she graduated in 1968. Her graduation film, Nine Lives, the Cat was one of the first film productions to deal directly with life as a woman in German society.

Ula Stöckl founded her own production company in 1968, the 'Ula Stöckl Filmproduktion'. In 1969, together with Edgar Reitz , she realized the Tales of the Bucket Child , a film with 22 episodes from the life of a girl who does not fit into bourgeois society. The film is part of the New German Film .

In 1984 she was able to direct a movie again with The Sleep of Reason . In 1992 she made one of the first feature films, Das alten Lied , to address German reunification and its problems.

Ula Stöckl also worked for the theater for a short time when she premiered the play Fräulein Julie on October 8, 1974 in Frankfurt in the Theater am Turm . She has taught at the German Film and Television Academy in Berlin and in the USA at Hollins University in Roanoke (Virginia) as well as in directing and women in film at the University of Central Florida in Orlando (Florida) .
