Partnership with Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) in Guangzhou (China)

 

In this new partnership with a very distinguished university in China, we would like to expand our your international perspective. SYSU has a wonderful campus south of the Pearl River in Guangzhou with less than 20.000 students (more than double that number are on their Zhouhai campus on the coast). The partner institution is a special cooperation partner in research and teaching.

We hope to expand the cooperation in teaching, partly to prepare SYSU students for the TUC studies and partly to prepare e-learning collaboration and a Summer School. We still need students who want to help in this project as a PROMOS funded placement.

Guangzhou is a megacity (with Foshan, over 13 Million inhabitants), but it has a good metro and bus network and a very lively population that you can meet every evening along the Pearl River promenade, just outside of the SYSU North Gate. More info on the city.

Placements/Internships/M.A. thesis study visits for Chemnitz M.A. students at SYSU:

If you are interested in going to China, either to study or do an internship, let me have your project proposal well in advance (so that we can secure suitable on-campus accommodation).

TUC2SYSU13

Jessica's blog summarizes her experience at SYSU  from September to December 2013.

ALL exchange students take 6 courses (lectures, seminars, project) with 30 ECTS points (just like European students). Individual changes to the general study plan must be approved by both exchange coordinators at SYSU and at TUC.

They should  be aware of the need to stay on after the lectures finish until the end of February, so that they can hand in their seminar or term papers before they leave and even get fedback from theirr lecturers.

In Sept 2013 we had a study tour to Guangzhou (and Hong Kong)
