Students in Saxony-Anhalt: stability and new opportunities in the winter semester!
The current number of students at the universities in Saxony-Anhalt show remarkable stability. This was announced by the universities in Magdeburg and Halle. At the beginning of the winter semester, the Otto-von Guericke University Magdeburg recorded around 12,500 students, while the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg has around 19,000 enrolled students. These numbers are almost at the same level as in the previous year.
The great demand for the new dual teacher training at the University of Magdeburg is particularly noteworthy. School practice is firmly integrated into the course of study, which makes it attractive to many students. According to the university, around 80 people have applied to the 30 available places, which indicates great interest in this model course that is unique in the country.
popular courses and international students
Another interesting detail comes from the University of Halle, where the Bachelor's degree in psychology is most in demand. Here 1,345 high school graduates applied for only 50 study places, which illustrates the attractiveness of this specialty.
The demography of the students is also remarkable. At the Otto von Guericke University, the proportion of foreign students is an incredible 30 percent, which shows a positive sign of international orientation and exchange at the university. In contrast, the proportion of the University of Halle is about nine percent. These figures are not only a confirmation of the attractiveness of the universities, but also an indicator of the efforts for a diverse and integrative study environment.
The stable students and the high demand for certain courses show the trust that future students put in the educational offers of the Saxony-Anhalt universities.
