Enrolment

During your doctorate at Halle University you may enrol as a PhD student. From the University point of view the enrolment at Halle University as a PhD student is not mandatory but goes along with some advantages.

Please note that at the Faculty of Philosophy I, Faculty of Philosphy II and the Faculty of Natural Sciences I enrolement is possible only after having been accepted as a doctoral candidate at the relevant Faculty.

Some of the advantages are free use of public transport in all of Germany (starting in summer semester 2024), free use of the university libraries, reduced prices in the university cafeterias.

For the enrolment as a PhD student there are no deadlines and no tuition fees are charged. However, a registration fee for each semester has to be paid if you enrol. The fee can vary. Please find always updated information here.
