CDIHK Projekt

Chinese-German International College

The project „Chinese-German International College of Higher Education (CDIHK)“ offers all participants of both partner universities international and intercultural experiences, and exchange opportunities as required. The aim is to establish a dual campus, in which three bachelor degree programs containing identical content can be studied. The students will become open minded world citizens, socially and multicultural competent executives/experts, 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
