Successful Master's degree

Mr. Qiji LU has completed his Master's degree at the HSZG in the field of

mechatronics

with excellent results. He is the first student from the Chinese University of Applied Sciences (CDHAW) to successfully complete his Master's degree at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences.

Mr. Qiji Lu belongs to a group of Chinese students who are taking part in a Bachelor's programme with a double degree. He completed the first three years of his studies at the CDHAW at Tongji University in Shanghai. In September 2012, Mr. Lu began his fourth year of study at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences. After successfully completing his Bachelor's degree and holding degrees from two universities, he decided to pursue a Master's degree.

His challenging Master's thesis at the university's

Institute of Process Engineering, Process Automation and Metrology (IPM)

deals with the calculation of elastic rotors from the point of view of contact-free magnetic bearings. Mr. Lu developed a tool that will make it easier to calculate the rotor dynamic behavior under different conditions in the future.

Mr. Lu is now returning to China with his Master's degree, with good prospects of a challenging job.

The CDHAW is a project of the German University Consortium (DHIK) and Tongji University in Shanghai.

The course lasts eight semesters (4 years). The 1st - 6th semester takes place at Tongji University. This includes extensive German lessons and lectures in key subjects in German, held by German professors in Shanghai. For the 7th and 8th semester, students come to a German consortium university to complete a theory semester and do an internship and Bachelor thesis in a German company.

Conversely, German students also have the opportunity to complete part of their studies at Tongji University - with or without a double degree.
