CDIHK project

Chinese-German International University College

The "Chinese-German International University College (CDIHK)" project offers all participants from both partner universities international and intercultural experiences and exchange opportunities in line with their needs. The aim is to establish a double campus where three Bachelor's degree courses with identical content can be studied. The participating students should thus become open-minded global citizens and socially and multiculturally competent managers/specialists who have a broad international perspective in order to be able to assert themselves in the international competitive environment.

Project partners: TU Clausthal, Sichuan University

Funded by: DAAD
