International Master Programmes at Ulm and Stuttgart
Communication and Information Technology at Ulm
The master program Communication and Information Technology at Ulm University offers a fast track programme for GUC students with a Communication and Electronics major. Students may apply for the masters in autumn in their 9th semester at the GUC. If admitted, they start their master program in Ulm in spring and take specific courses that can be transferred back to the curriculum of the 10th semester at GUC.

Next to the fast track program, GUC graduates from IET and MET (Media Engineering and Technology Major) can also apply for the CIT Master at Ulm. The study programme starts in the summer term.
