Information on Application for Free Mover
Free mover are exchange students studying in Halle for one or two semesters without any specific cooperation agreement between their university and the MLU like Erasmus.
Please note: exchange students who wish to study at our university as FREE MOVER (meaning, on an individual basis, without a specific cooperation agreement between the universities) will need to find an academic tutor at the respective institute at the University of Halle. In order to find such a tutor you may either visit the web sites of the faculty or institute that you are interested in or search among the international academic advisors, who often agree to advise free movers.
The academic tutor (university professor or other teacher) must fill out a Confirmation of Supervisor, the so called "Betreuerbestätigung" and send it to the International Office.
Once the International Office has received this Confirmation of Supervision (signed and stamped), the student receives a link to register online.
Free Mover have to submit the certificate of enrolment of their home university to the International Office during the application process.
