ERASMUS in Halle
Welcome to Halle! As birthplace of Reformation and worldwide Protestant mission, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) has played a profound role in shaping global Christianity as we know it today. This complex historical legacy invites critical reflection on the ambivalent role of Christianity — and religion more broadly — in global transformations.
The city of Halle is situated in the midst of Germany — a country between Global East and Global West. It is a lively medium-sized city with an eminent cultural and subcultural scene, rooted in the student life of several academic institutions (art college, college for sacred music, university etc.). There are various choirs, campus sports, project groups or gardening projects and other leisure activities which will help you settle in quickly. The thousand-year-old city also offers a rich cultural programme (e.g. museums, theatres, opera, historical sites, music clubs and art events), beautiful nature and a friendly atmosphere. Halle is also well-connected to nearby cities such as Leipzig and Berlin, so you can explore more of Germany during your study time.
