A lively exchange of students and scholars.

In 1993, contact to Qingdao University in Shandong, Bavaria’s partner province in China, was established in German Language Studies. There has been a lively exchange of students and scholars between the University of Bayreuth and its Chinese partner universities ever since. Over the years, substantial academic collaborations in various disciplines have developed into a sustainable network of individual research contacts as well as an institutional network of more than ten partner universities in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

Academic cooperation consists of research collaboration, dual degree programmes, joint short-term programmes, bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and exchanges of researchers and doctoral fellows.

Successful internationalization.

Greater China is one of the focus regions of the University of Bayreuth’s internationalization strategy. For this reason, aside from its research and teaching activities, the University of Bayreuth has been represented at networking and recruitment events such as the China Education Expo and the PhD Workshop China for many years. Through these combined academic and administrative efforts, Chinese undergraduate and graduate students are now the biggest group of international students at the University of Bayreuth (25%). There are also a substantial number of Chinese PhD students and researchers on our campus.

The University of Bayreuth hosts the Bavarian Competence Centre for China (BAYCHINA) and cooperates with the China Scholarship Council (CSC) and the China Education Association for International Exchange (CEAIE).
