Chinese-German Technical Faculty (CDTF)
The CDTF prepares Chinese students on the Bachelor's degree programme in Mechanical Engineering for subsequent studies at Paderborn University. In a preparatory year, students at the CDTF initially take around 1,200 hours of German language lessons. The following two years of study are devoted to Chinese-language basic studies, but also partly to German-language basic studies.
This study phase in China is followed by a specialisation in Mechanical Engineering at Paderborn University for 30 - 40% of a year group. One of the requirements for transferring from Qingdao to Paderborn is linguistic aptitude (TestDaF 4 x 4). In addition, there is the subject-related aptitude, which is proven by good grades in the Chinese-German undergraduate programme. In Paderborn, the Chinese students complete the regular fifth and sixth (course) semesters of the Bachelor's degree programme in Mechanical Engineering. This includes a specialised internship in German industry.
German students can study in Qingdao for a semester abroad to gain an insight into Chinese (university) culture. In the "mb-cn" study programme, they learn the basics of the Chinese language. They also work as student tutors in teaching.
