In the UK at least, there are 2 types of University, basically its the newand the old.
The old Universities, (the equivalent of Ivy League I suppose) are "X University", this
includes places like Oxford and Cambridge. Then there are the new Universities which
are usually "University of X". There is of course some exceptions, but in general,
the place first form carries a sort of implied extra prestige. From what you said of
Ulm, I don't know if you'd want to make the transposition while translating or not.
