International applicants must hold a qualification recognised as equivalent to the German Hochschulzugangsberechtigung. Applications from holders of degrees awarded outside Germany are processed via uni-assist. For German-taught programmes, language proficiency must be demonstrated by one of: DSH-2, TestDaF with at least 4 points in each of the four sections, telc Deutsch C1 Hochschule, Goethe-Zertifikat C2, Deutsches Sprachdiplom Stufe 2 (DSD-II), or ÖSD C2. Nine English-taught programmes can be studied without a German language certificate. APS certificate (Akademische Prüfstelle): applicants whose prior qualifications are from India, China, or Vietnam must submit a valid APS certificate as part of the application - this is a mandatory document. Applicants from Pakistan must provide an HEC Attestation. All documents not in German or English require sworn translations.

Bachelor's programmes: 15 July for the winter semester (starting October); 15 January for the summer semester (starting April). Consecutive master's programmes: 15 June for the winter semester; 15 December for the summer semester. Individual programmes may have earlier or different deadlines (e.g. MSc Pharmaceutical and Industrial Biotechnology: 31 March). Applications are submitted via uni-assist for international applicants.

Full uni-assist procedure. All applicants with a foreign university entrance qualification (or IB/FSP) apply EXCLUSIVELY via the uni-assist portal (standard procedure; the VPS special procedure is not allowed). MLU then evaluates and admits. Exceptions: EU/EEA applicants for DoSV bachelor programmes first register with hochschulstart.de for BID/BAN numbers before applying via uni-assist, and EU/EEA applicants for Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy apply exclusively via hochschulstart.de instead of uni-assist.

The majority of programmes are taught in German. A growing number of master's programmes are offered in English, including Biodiversity Sciences, Pharmaceutical and Industrial Biotechnology, Polymer Materials Science, Anglo-American Literature Language and Culture, Applied Geosciences, Christianity in Global Transformations, and International Area Studies - Global Change Geography. A total of nine English-taught degree programmes are available without German language proof requirement. The university's study-offer portal (studienangebot.uni-halle.de) lists all programmes with their language of instruction.
