The home was founded on April 1, 1992. The campus, however, has been an institution of higher education since 1954. Up to 1993, the technical college "Carl Schorlemmer" was located here.
Today the 44-hectare-area is home to 28 buildings or parts of buildings which have been extensively refurbished. It also has sports facilities, and there are extensive green areas.
13 Bachelor's and 10 Master's programs are offered in four departments. Besides, several continuing education programs are available.
The campus in Merseburg offers excellent possibilities for free-time activities. The university has a theater with its stage and mask workshop and very extensive sports facilities suitable for sports competitions. Three student clubs offer a varied evening program on almost every day of the week. There is a child care provider for the young generation, and both Protestant and Catholic student communities are active here.
"Life-long" learning is the crucial element to the information and knowledge-based society of the 21st century. More flexible working worlds require a willingness to bring knowledge and skills up to the latest standard. Home offers a variety of opportunities for continuing education, which are open to all interested.
Home Academy unifies general opportunities for continuing education with the Seniorenkolleg (education especially for senior citizens), language courses, and projects in cooperation with different societies and institutions dedicated to socio-political subjects and general knowledge. Not only do we offer courses and seminars, but we also offer an entire lecture series during the semester.
The individual institutes or private research institutes offer these study and certification programs. The target audience consists of students, employed people, and small and medium-sized companies from the region who wish to refresh or enhance their knowledge. We develop unique programs for DOW Olefinverbund GmbH and Sonotec GmbH in close cooperation with these companies. You will find the individual offers on the following pages.

Our Buddy Service is designed to make it easier for our international exchange students to get accommodated and feel at home in Merseburg quickly. The "buddies" are German and international students from the university familiar with Merseburg and the university. They help incoming international students with the formalities of registering with the city and daily life issues. They also organize trips and other social events.
The extra-occupational certification program in Chemistry has been developed in cooperation with the Bildungswerk Nordostchemie e.V. and HoMe. This continuing education program lasting four years focuses on the scientific basics of inorganic, organic, physical, analytical, and technical chemistry. The content of the course follows the requirements for employees in the chemical industry. It allows extra-occupational students to qualify for a profession in the mid-level management of the chemical-pharmaceutical industry. Upon completing the certification program, the academic degree "Bachelor of Science" may be acquired without further costs.

The program in Chemical and Environmental Engineering has a long tradition in Merseburg. Thus, you will profit from education at a high level. Your study will be closely related to practice in state-of-the-art laboratories—often on an industrial scale. As a first step, you will learn the mathematical-scientific basics and those of chemistry and engineering. This will be complemented by insights into basic technical operations and mechanical and thermal process engineering procedures.
The radio alarm starts our day. The microwave quickly heats our lunch. Text messages bring us together in the evening at short notice. It is almost impossible to imagine life without everyday electrical 'helpers' and modern communication technology. Components of communication and information technologies are behind the control of these processes and technical systems. Our Bachelor's degree program in Automation Engineering/Information Technology focuses on accumulating control data, transmission, employment, and processing. Also, you will work with simulating technical processes and their classification and effects.
During your scheduled study period in Merseburg, accommodation is available in guest rooms located directly on the university campus. These rooms are offered by the Studentenwerk (student services). You will find further information in the Studentenwerk brochure in the download section.
