The CDTF prepares Chinese students of engineering and natural sciences for their subsequent study program at universities in Germany in language and subject-related matters. Currently, the following study programs are offered:

• Mechanical Engineering
  (Paderborn University, University of Applied Science Koblenz)
• Chemistry
  (Paderborn University)
• Electrical Engineering
  (University of Siegen)
• Measuring and Sensor Technology
  (University of Applied Science Koblenz)

German students can transfer to Qingdao for a semester abroad and gain an insight into Chinese (university) culture; generally, they write their student research paper under the supervision of a Chinese German-speaking professor. In addition, they work as student teaching assistants and learn the basics of the Chinese language. More >>>

As of winter semester 2012/13, the major „mb-cn“ is offered to German students enrolled in the Master’s programs Mechanical Engineering and Economic Engineering including the following components:

• Summer school in September in Qingdao
  (language and culture)
• Semester abroad at the CDTF
  (tutoring Chinese students, Chinese language, student research project)
• Master’s thesis in a German partner company at their Chinese branch

mb-cn students spend their third semester (winter semester) at the CDTF to write their student research paper. We are always looking for Ph. D. students to supervise these papers.
