University Medicine Halle

Research, teaching and patient care are the three pillars of the University Medicine Halle (Saale). It unites the traditional Medical Faculty of the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and the University Hospital Halle (Saale) as a maximum care provider in a special way:

Researchers, teachers and physicians work hand in hand. Scientists investigate diseases and their causes. They conduct research to find new cures and therapies. These findings are passed on to students in teaching. And the results from research can also be incorporated into patient care. In this way, treatments for our patients are at the cutting edge of science. On the other hand, special, unknown disease patterns offer new approaches for research and teaching - all under the umbrella of the University Medicine Halle (Saale).

The Medical Faculty is one of the four founding faculties and still an essential part of the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg, one of the oldest and most venerable universities in Germany with a history of more than 500 years.

Medicine can be studied in Halle since 1694. But Medicine was also taught in Wittenberg in the 16th and 17th centuries. The Medical Faculty can boast renowned physicians and researchers in its history in Halle.

The Executive Board of the University Hospital

At the Medical Faculty of the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg, we train the future generation of doctors, dentists and nurses at an academic level for the state of Saxony-Anhalt and beyond. For this purpose, the degree programmes Medicine, Evidence-Based Nursing (B.Sc.), Health and Nursing Sciences (M.Sc.) and, as the only location in Saxony-Anhalt, Dentistry and from winter semester 2021/22 Midwifery Science are offered.

The Medical Faculty places great emphasis on practice-based education and has one of the largest and most modern learning clinics in Germany, the Dorothea Erxleben Education Center. We are also committed to the concept of interprofessional teaching and have been working to counter the shortage of general practitioners since 2011 with the "General Medicine Class" as an additional curriculum.

And it pays to study in Halle. The city has developed into a charming student city in recent years. Thanks to the "short distances", the good infrastructure with public transport and cycle paths, the many cultural and sporting activities and the numerous clubs, you quickly learn to love the city. Furthermore, affordable and centrally located housing is still available.
