ESPACE students have the opportunity to participate in the established Double Degree Program with Wuhan University (WHU) in China. The program lasts three years and involves a one-year stay at Wuhan University. Graduates obtain not only a Master’s Degree from the TUM but also a Master’s Degree from the WHU.
The time spent at the WHU shall take place in the 3rd and 4th semester. The 3rd semester contains mandatory lectures, while in the 4th semester, students can choose one of three specializations: Navigation, Remote Sensing, or GIS. The 5th and 6th semesters will be spent at the TUM, where the students will attend the courses of the regular ESPACE 3rd semester and write their Master’s Thesis in the 6th semester. The Master’s Thesis will be co-supervised by lecturers from WHU and the TUM.
All lectures at WHU will be in English. Knowledge of the Chinese language is not necessary but is useful for your daily life in China. Students who intend to apply are encouraged to participate in Chinese courses before going.
Please view the full program curriculum before applying.
