Student numbers in Saxony-Anhalt: Magdeburg and Halle in trend!

in Saxony-Anhalt, the number of students at the large universities remains stable, which was highlighted in the recent reports from the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg and the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. The university in Magdeburg starts the new winter semester with around 12,500 enrolled students, while the university in Halle welcomes around 19,000 students. These figures show that the registration remain at the level of the previous year.

A particularly interesting Highlight in Magdeburg is the introduction of a new dual teacher training. This training designed the studies in such a way that the practical schooling time is firmly integrated. This model course has obviously aroused great interest: around 80 interested parties have applied in the places only available. The university describes this training as unique in Germany and thus emphasizes its importance for the region.

popular fields of study and international students

The Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg has a high demand in the field of psychology. Here, 1,345 high school graduates applied for only 50 study places, which underlines the great competition and interest in this subject.

Another remarkable aspect is the high proportion of foreign students at the University of Magdeburg, which is around 30 percent. In comparison, the university in Halle has a foreign student share of around 9 percent. These figures make it clear that the universities in Saxony-Anhalt not only attract local students, but also offer internationally estimated educational offers.
