The Studentenwerk Halle is responsible for the conditions relating to studies. They offer affordable housing, food in canteens and cafeterias. They also have special programs for international students. The residence hall advising team consists of tutors who assist new students entering the country in getting started in the university.

We especially want to point out the wide range of consulting services. 'Studentenwerk' offers social counselling for international students, counselling appointments can also be offered in English, French or Arabic. If you have difficulties studying or personal problems, you can contact the psychosocial counselling service.

The Martin Luther University Student Council (Stura) also offers a social counselling service with special information and advice for international students.

The Sozialdarlehen (social loan) is paid out in the amount of up to €1500 (students with children can apply for up to €2500). The loan can be applied for from the StuRa social spokespersons.

In contrast to many private loans, the StuRa social loan is interest-free and repayment begins three months after the last payment has been received. You can decide whether the loan is paid out in one go or in several stages; however, the minimum amount is €30.

The aim of the “Haus” association,  founded in 1994, is to help international students of the Martin Luther University, who are in financial distress. Funds are collected from membership fees and donations. After verification of the student's situation, the financial help is administered at short notice and unbureaucratically, for example by temporary payment of rents, health insurance, and subsistence money prior to intermediate and final exams, etc.

The Protestant Students Congregation (Evangelische Studierendengemeinde - ESG) consults about and grants financial aid from emergency funds administered by the Diakonische Werk Mitteldeutschland, comprising resources of the campaign “Brot für die Welt” and of means from the “Smirnoff-Nachlass”. The allocation of these grants is limited to students who entered Germany freely (with a residence permit according to §16 a AufG) and is bound by special guidelines.

In financial and other emergencies, foreign students can find advice in the Protestant University and Students Congregation Halle (ESG). Student pastor Christiane Thiel and her team take the time to find solutions for the person seeking advice.
