The Protestant University of Church Music Halle is a university of church music in Halle (Saale), Saxony-Anhalt. EHK Halle, founded in Aschersleben on April 18, 1926 and based in Halle since 1939, is the oldest and largest state-recognized university for church music in independent sponsorship in Germany. The school’s academic profile today includes church music, organ, choral conducting, vocal and instrumental pedagogy, liturgy, ensemble leadership and sacred-music practice. Specialist tuition is connected with Halle’s rich musical and university environment through its Händelhaus-Karree facilities, seven organs, churches nearby and cooperation with Martin Luther University.

This master file has 2 undergraduate entries and 4 postgraduate entries representing the course portfolio. Undergraduate study: Church Music; Church Music and Secondary Teacher Education Postgraduate studies are offered in Church Music, Artistic Organ Playing, Choir and Orchestra Conducting, Concert and Oratorio Singing. Each entry keeps the official parent qualification and nests the paths or concentrations within the area of specialisation instead of inflating them into separate degrees. Where the institution does not independently award doctorates, this record describes only credible cooperative doctoral research routes and states that formal admission belongs to a doctoral-awarding partner.

Applicants must use the direct procedure of the university and pass the published aptitude examination for their course; joint teacher-education study also requires the partner university’s enrolment conditions. Applicants are advised to check the current program page for the exact intake, teaching language, academic prerequisites, selection method and document route before applying. International certificates may require certified translations, proof of equivalency, APS documentation for relevant countries or other language proof. Master’s committees may require module descriptions, credit details, professional experience, a portfolio, a motivation statement or an interview. Entry for a doctorate is separate from entry for a bachelor’s or master’s program and depends on an appropriate topic, supervision, funding and formal acceptance by the university conferring the degree.

The university sets fees for every course every semester, not one national fee. Look for tuition status, student-services contributions, transport, examination costs and special-program charges for the current semester. Tuition does not cover accommodation, food, health insurance, residence formalities, private travel and optional project expenses. Applicants will be subject to the live fee schedule and signed study contract. Funding can include BAföG for eligible students, the Deutschlandstipendium if offered, DAAD or Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, sponsorship from employers, educational funds or paid research and student assistant work. Each funding opportunity is assessed separately from admission.
