Welcome to Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg

Halle University is becoming more and more international every year. This is also due to the steady increase in international study programmes and, of course, foreign students who are interested in them (and also in the programmes offered in German). Welcome to Halle, welcome to our university!

This section of our portal (International) is available in German and English. It contains a lot of basic information, especially about getting started and moving on in Germany and Halle. In addition, the Enrollment Office also provides most of its information for new students in both languages.

Please have a closer look on information about our Central Orientation and subject-specific introduction sessions for all first-semester students.

From many International sites you can access further official university webpages providing information in English on various topics.

If you are unable to find English translations for some topics in other sections of www.ich-will-wissen.de, we recommend using online translation tools, which have become increasingly powerful in recent years. If you still have questions, please contact the International Office.
