New students can look forward to over 3,800 welcome bags during the orientation week at the start of the winter semester 23/24 on the university square in front of the Löwengebäude in Halle (Saale). From Monday, 2 October and from Wednesday, 4 to Friday, 6 October 2023 (9:00 to 16:00), Stadtmarketing Halle (Saale) GmbH and Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) will be distributing the welcome bag with useful information, items and vouchers. With its completely new design, the "first-year students" will also be able to take the transparent "Bib Bag" with them to libraries in future. During the orientation week, Halle City Marketing is also offering new students five free city tours, four bus tours with the "Halle Hopper" and, new this year, two neighbourhood tours to ensure they are well informed when they start their studies in Halle (Saale). Free registration is also possible at short notice by e-mail or online: info@deinhalle.de / www.welcome2halle.de/veranstaltungen
