202.120.2.30: /* Accomodation */

This page is meant as a help for students going to China the following years. It is a updated version of Marco's article, a collection of tips and hints for the whole preparation progress, also considering the new dual degree agreement for TUB Bachelor students.

== Common tips ==
* Admission letter from TUB Professor
Get your TUB Professor (Prof. Mahr) to sign an official looking letter that you will be attending the SJTU university for two years and that the entire time is counted for your German study plan. Make plenty of copies of this letter.
* Keep copies of official SJTU letters
Some of the official SJTU letters you receive from Shanghai have to be handed in for example for your VISA application. Always keep some copies of these papers, because they still might be useful later.

== VISA ==
The VISA application has to be done at the Chinese embassy. The simple application for a "Student X-Visa" is done within four weekdays and costs about 30,- EUR. Before you go there, inform yourself at the [http://www.china-botschaft.de/det/ official homepage], which forms are currently required. Usually, they include:

* Passport, at least valid for the two years in China
* "Visa Application for Study in China" formular, JW202
* "Physical examination record for foreigner" formular, including
** AIDS/HIV test results (tests made at [http://www.berlin.de/ba-tempelhof-schoeneberg/organisationseinheit/gesundheit/ Gesundheitsamt Berlin] have been accepted without problems)
* "Admission notice", the official SJTU invitation
Note: All forms that you fill out or get filled by other personnel should be stamped with official looking stamps (in red ink). Get a red ink pad before starting running for your forms (recently there haven't been any problems with stamps having a different colour than red, but maybe its safer...).

== Health ==
=== In Germany ===
As mentioned earlier, you'll need a HIV test before applying for the students visa. This can easily be done at [http://www.berlin.de/ba-tempelhof-schoeneberg/organisationseinheit/gesundheit/ Gesundheitsamt Berlin].

You should be vaccinated for all the basic stuff (diphtheria, typhus, tetanus) and hepatitis A and B. Get your vaccination pass up to date and look out for combination vaccinations. Hepatitis A and B combined is about three times 70,- EUR and you have to receive the three injections after the first injection in one month and six month to one year intervals. This is also true for just Hepatitis B vaccinations. Hepatitis A vaccination alone can be given in one injection and last for one year. If a second hepatitis A injection is done within 6 to 12 month after the first, the protection lasts for 10 years. A good (and cheap) place for consulting and expert and getting the recommended injections is the [http://www.charite.de/tropenmedizin/ Tropeninstitut Berlin].

As your normal german health insurance will not pay for foreign costs you need to cancel it. Instead, choose a private insurance company to fix a foreign-country insurance ("Auslandskrankenversicherung"). This costs about 20,- to 100,- EUR, depending on the company you choose. We found the cheapest to be the DKV. They will also cover limited costs for trips back to germany which last up to six weeks. You may also want to have a "Berufsunfähigkeitsversicherung" fixed. Normally, the insurance company hotlines are helpful and can answer your questions quickly.
=== In China ===
The "physical examination record for foreigner" or "Gesundheitszertifikat" can be done at the SJTU Minhang campus in the first week of the new semester. You need this certificate, to receive a two-year residence permit in China, since the X-Visa you get in Germany is only valid for a limited time. The examination consists of taking of a blood sample, chest X-ray, EEG and so on, but is painless. It costs around 500 RMB, exact time and place are usually released in the International Student Dormitories during the first week of the new semester.
=== Medicine ===
Right on the opposite side of the Minhang campus entry gate, there is a chemist's shop, but we recommend you to bring with you at least for the first two weeks:

* Some multivitamin pillets, as we ate almost no real food in the first week, due to the heat and jetlag and sickness.
* Diarrhoea medicine, like "Immodium akut" or similar. All of us had - sometimes very intense - diaerrhoea, as the food here has a lot of fat and in the first weeks you want to try out everything ;-)
* Aspirin. Readily available almost everywhere, but for the first day or the flight (to reduce the risk of blood clumps during the flight and long time sitting).
* Your favourite tea. Since you might have some problems with the airconditioner in the beginning, you might come down with a cold. You don't want to drink green tea then ...

== Accomodation ==
You will receive an "Application Form For Exchange Students" from SJTU, which you'll have to fill out and sent back in order to get the official invitation from Jiaotong University. This form also enables you to make a reservation in one of the student dormitories. For details and prices see [http://www.sie.sjtu.edu.cn/page/en-page/minhangzhusu.asp Homepage of SJTU International School].

Even if you make a reservation for a single room, they might already be booked out. Usually, the SJTU administration than issues a unaccommodating reservation in a double-room, but without noticing you! However, taking a bed in a single or double-room in one of the international dormitories can be a good idea, because you meet a lot of new people there right from the beginning of your stay in Shanghai.

As an alternative, you can also rent a flat in Minhang or downtown. Prices in Minhang are cheaper than in Berlin, but flats in downtown can be quite expensive. To rent a flat in Minhang, just take a Chinese speaking friend with you and go to one of the broker's offices ("Maklerbüro") near university campus. Usually you'll easily find a decent place to stay.

To live outside the campus, you need to register at a local police station. Go to International School on Minhang campus for more information.

== Money ==
You can get money in China without being charged for the Euro to RMB transfer, if you have a Citibank account with Citibank Maestro card (EC card). There is for example a ATM located directly on the way between Xuhui subway station and SJTU Xuhui campus, so you can pick up some money on your way to the language classes. A credit card money withdrawal is usually charged with a 1% fee, but this depends on your contract. Anyway, bringing a credit card to China (also for backup) is a good idea.

The German banks Commerzbank, Deutschen Bank, Dresdner Bank, Hypo-Vereinsbank, Sparkasse and Postbank allow Maestro card cash money retrieval from within China for an all-in fee of 4,50 EUR.

Following banks accept Maestro Cards (EC card):
* Bank of China, also located directly inside Minhang Campus
* Agricultural Bank. English menus and 2000 Yuan maximum withdrawal. There is one of them maybe 15 minutes away by bike from Jiao Tong Min Hang campus.
* CITIC Industrial Bank. Also in English, also 2000 Yuan. Can be found near Xujiahui station, a good place two spend it the same day.
* Shanghai Bank. Here you can get 3000 Yuan at once for just 4,50 EUR fee. Very good.
* And more...

== Language ==
The Sprach- und Kulturbörse offers both in-semester courses and intensive courses. The intensive courses are about 82,- EUR for 30 effective hours in two weeks (2 * 5 days, 3 hours per days). If you do a second intensive course you even get a rebate of 15,- EUR. There are three to 10 people in each course and you get good course materials to work with at home.

In China, you can take language courses for free at the SJTU Xuhui campus downtown. They have a good quality and a highly intensive program for beginners, intermediate and advanced students.

Also, you should get at least one Mandarin Phrasebook. We found the Lonely Planet Mandarin Phrasebook very helpful, not to say it was crucial to our survival :-) Its ISBN is 0-86442-652-6 and costs around 8 EUR at Amazon.de. You can point at some characters to make you understandable, but to correctly spell out the Pinyin you would have to take a Mandarin crash course at least.

== Contacts ==
== German Bafoeg ==
The Bafög application should be done as soon as possible. It can last a half year until you get your first money.

=== Common informations ===
All the informations concerning the German Bafög are a bit flaky, since we haven't done the whole procedure yet. So it's better to get some first-hand informations instead of reading only this article.

As we know so far, it is not possible to get any Bafög during the second year. Let's see how we will get our money for the second year, since then we will enjoy the first one ...

Here's the address of the institution handling the applications for China:

Bezirksregierung Köln
Ausbildungsförderung
Theaterplatz 14
52062 Aachen

=== The application (OUT OF DATE) ===
''Since I do not have experience with applying for the German Auslandsbafoeg, I can not update this paragraph. I am sure, it is out of date!! Visit [http://www.auslandsbafoeg.de/ this] site for more information.''

You will have to fill out the following forms, which you can get at the website of the German Bafoeg Institution

* Formblatt 1
* Formblatt 1a
* Formblatt 3
* Formblatt 5
* Formblatt 6

Additionally, get a affirmation from Prof. Hommel, that you have good knowledge of English and basic knowledge of Chinese. Hence the TOEFL-Test is a precondition for the exchange, he only signs the English knowledge if he knows your test results. For the affirmation of Chinese knowledge just ask him, he will sign it even if you just know what "ni hao" means .. You don't know what "ni hao" means? Go here ;-)

You will also have to send a copy of the affirmation that you are in China for two years, signed by Prof. Hommel.

The Bafög Institution will send you a form, which you have to send to Mr. Gu. He will do some crosses and then you can send it back to the Bafög people.

You can get money in China without being charged for the Euro to RMB transfer, if you have a Citibank account with Citibank Maestro card (EC card). There is for example a ATM located directly on the way between Xuhui subway station and SJTU Xuhui campus, so you can pick up some money on your way to the language classes. A credit card money withdrawal is usually charged with a 1% fee, but this depends on your contract. Anyway, bringing a credit card to China (also for backup) is a good idea.

The German banks Commerzbank, Deutschen Bank, Dresdner Bank, Hypo-Vereinsbank, Sparkasse and Postbank allow Maestro card cash money retrieval from within China for an all-in fee of 4,50 EUR.

Following banks accept Maestro Cards (EC card):
* Bank of China, also located directly inside Minhang Campus

In China, you can take language courses for free at the SJTU Xuhui campus downtown. They have a good quality and a highly intensive program for beginners, intermediate and advanced students.

Also, you should get at least one Mandarin Phrasebook. We found the Lonely Planet Mandarin Phrasebook very helpful, not to say it was crucial to our survival :-) Its ISBN is 0-86442-652-6 and costs around 8 EUR at Amazon.de.

This page is meant as a help for students going to China the following years. It is a updated version of Marco's article, a collection of tips and hints for the whole preparation progress, also considering the new dual degree agreement for TUB Bachelor students.

== Common tips ==
* Admission letter from TUB Professor
Get your TUB Professor (Prof. Mahr) to sign an official looking letter that you will be attending the SJTU university for two years and that the entire time is counted for your German study plan. Make plenty of copies of this letter.
* Keep copies of official SJTU letters
Some of the official SJTU letters you receive from Shanghai have to be handed in for example for your VISA application. Always keep some copies of these papers, because they still might be useful later.

== VISA ==
The VISA application has to be done at the Chinese embassy. The simple application for a "Student X-Visa" is done within four weekdays and costs about 30,- EUR. Before you go there, inform yourself at the [http://www.china-botschaft.de/det/ official homepage], which forms are currently required. Usually, they include:

* "Visa Application for Study in China" formular, JW202
* "Physical examination record for foreigner" formular, including
** AIDS/HIV test results (tests made at [http://www.berlin.de/ba-tempelhof-schoeneberg/organisationseinheit/gesundheit/ Gesundheitsamt Berlin] have been accepted without problems)
* "Admission notice", the official SJTU invitation
Note: All forms that you fill out or get filled by other personnel should be stamped with official looking stamps (in red ink). Get a red ink pad before starting running for your forms (recently there haven't been any problems with stamps having a different colour than red, but maybe its safer...).

== Health ==
=== In Germany ===
As mentioned earlier, you'll need a HIV test before applying for the students visa. This can easily be done at [http://www.berlin.de/ba-tempelhof-schoeneberg/organisationseinheit/gesundheit/ Gesundheitsamt Berlin].

You should be vaccinated for all the basic stuff (diphtheria, typhus, tetanus) and hepatitis A and B. Get your vaccination pass up to date and look out for combination vaccinations. Hepatitis A and B combined is about three times 70,- EUR and you have to receive the three injections after the first injection in one month and six month to one year intervals. This is also true for just Hepatitis B vaccinations. Hepatitis A vaccination alone can be given in one injection and last for one year. If a second hepatitis A injection is done within 6 to 12 month after the first, the protection lasts for 10 years. A good (and cheap) place for consulting and expert and getting the recommended injections is the [http://www.charite.de/tropenmedizin/ Tropeninstitut Berlin].

As your normal german health insurance will not pay for foreign costs you need to cancel it. Instead, choose a private insurance company to fix a foreign-country insurance ("Auslandskrankenversicherung"). This costs about 20,- to 100,- EUR, depending on the company you choose. We found the cheapest to be the DKV. They will also cover limited costs for trips back to germany which last up to six weeks. You may also want to have a "Berufsunfähigkeitsversicherung" fixed. Normally, the insurance company hotlines are helpful and can answer your questions quickly.
=== In China ===
The "physical examination record for foreigner" or "Gesundheitszertifikat" can be done at the SJTU Minhang campus in the first week of the new semester. You need this certificate, to receive a two-year residence permit in China, since the X-Visa you get in Germany is only valid for a limited time. The examination consists of taking of a blood sample, chest X-ray, EEG and so on, but is painless. It costs around 500 RMB, exact time and place are usually released in the International Student Dormitories during the first week of the new semester.
=== Medicine ===
Right on the opposite side of the Minhang campus entry gate, there is a chemist's shop, but we recommend you to bring with you at least for the first two weeks:

* Some multivitamin pillets, as we ate almost no real food in the first week, due to the heat and jetlag and sickness.
* Diarrhoea medicine, like "Immodium akut" or similar. All of us had - sometimes very intense - diaerrhoea, as the food here has a lot of fat and in the first weeks you want to try out everything ;-)
* Aspirin. Readily available almost everywhere, but for the first day or the flight (to reduce the risk of blood clumps during the flight and long time sitting).

The "physical examination record for foreigner" or "Gesundheitszertifikat" can be done at any hospital. We recommend the DRK Kliniken. The procedure can be a bit flaky, as the personell is not used to fill out the chinese health form. Basically, beside the basic examination (about 60,- EUR) what you need is a chest x-ray (40-50,- EUR), an electro-cardio-gram (ECG) (about 12,- EUR), and an HIV/AIDS and syphillis test (8,- EUR). If you do not know your blood group, you need an additional blood group test. If you have done a blood donation the group is usually written down in your blood donation form. Other places to look for it are in the vaccination pass or the motherhood pass of your mother.

Additionally you should be vaccinated for all the basic stuff (diphtheria, typhus, tetanus) and hepatitis A and B. Get your vaccination pass up to date and look out for combination vaccinations. Hepatitis A and B combined is about three times 70,- EUR and you have to receive the three injections after the first injection in one month and six month to one year intervals. This is also true for just Hepatitis B vaccinations. Hepatitis A vaccination alone can be given in one injection and last for one year. If a second hepatitis A injection is done within 6 to 12 month after the first, the protection lasts for 10 years.

=== in Germany ===
As your normal german health insurance will not pay for foreign costs you need to cancel it. Instead, choose a private insurance company to fix a foreign-country insurance ("Auslandskrankenversicherung"). This costs about 20,- to 100,- EUR, depending on the company you choose. We found the cheapest to be the DKV. They will also cover limited costs for trips back to germany which last up to six weeks. You may also want to have a "Berufsunfähigkeitsversicherung" fixed. Normally, the insurance company hotlines are helpful and can answer your questions quickly.

=== Medicine ===
Right on the opposite side of the Minhang campus entry gate, there is a chemist's shop, but we recommend you to bring with you at least for the first two weeks:

* Some multivitamin pillets, as we ate almost no real food in the first week, due to the heat and jetlag and sickness.
* Diarrhoea medicine, like "Immodium akut" or similar. All of us had - sometimes very intense - diaerrhoea, as the food here has a lot of fat and in the first weeks you want to try out everything ;-)
* Aspirin. Readily available almost everywhere, but for the first day or the flight (to reduce the risk of blood clumps during the flight and long time sitting).
* Your favourite tea. Since you might have some problems with the airconditioner in the beginning, you might come down with a cold. You don't want to drink green tea then ...

== Accomodation ==
== Money ==
The german banks Commerzbank, Deutschen Bank, Dresdner Bank, Hypo-Vereinsbank, Sparkasse and Postbank allow Maestro card (EC card) cash money retrieval from within China for an all-in tarif of 4,50 EUR.

Following banks accept Maestro Cards (EC card):
* Agricultural Bank. English menus and 2000 Yuan maximum withdrawal. There is one of them maybe 15 minutes away by bike from Jiao Tong Min Hang campus.
* CITIC Industrial Bank. Also in English, also 2000 Yuan. Can be found near Xujiahui station, a good place two spend it the same day.
* Shanghai Bank. Here you can get 3000 Yuan at once for just 4,50 EUR fee. Very good.
TODO: which chinese banks work with this

== Language ==
The Sprach- und Kulturbörse offers both in-semester courses and intensive courses. The intensive courses are about 82,- EUR for 30 effective hours in two weeks (2 * 5 days, 3 hours per days). If you do a second intensive course you even get a rebate of 15,- EUR. There are three to 10 people in each course and you get good course materials to work with at home.

TODO: Chinese courses in Shanghai (SJTU)

Also, you should get at least one Mandarin Phrasebook. We found the Lonely Planet Mandarin Phrasebook very helpful, not to say it was crucial to our survival :-) Its ISBN is 0-86442-652-6 and costs around 8 EUR at Amazon.de. You can point at some characters to make you understandable, but to correctly spell out the Pinyin you would have to take a Mandarin crash course at least.

== Contacts ==
== German Bafoeg ==
The Bafög application should be done as soon as possible. It can last a half year until you get your first money.

=== Common informations ===
All the informations concerning the German Bafög are a bit flaky, since we haven't done the whole procedure yet. So it's better to get some first-hand informations instead of reading only this article.

As we know so far, it is not possible to get any Bafög during the second year. Let's see how we will get our money for the second year, since then we will enjoy the first one ...

Here's the address of the institution handling the applications for China:

Bezirksregierung Köln
Ausbildungsförderung
Theaterplatz 14
52062 Aachen

=== The application ===
You will have to fill out the following forms, which you can get at the website of the German Bafoeg Institution

* Formblatt 1
* Formblatt 1a
* Formblatt 3
* Formblatt 5
* Formblatt 6

Additionally, get a affirmation from Prof. Hommel, that you have good knowledge of English and basic knowledge of Chinese. Hence the TOEFL-Test is a precondition for the exchange, he only signs the English knowledge if he knows your test results. For the affirmation of Chinese knowledge just ask him, he will sign it even if you just know what "ni hao" means .. You don't know what "ni hao" means? Go here ;-)

You will also have to send a copy of the affirmation that you are in China for two years, signed by Prof. Hommel.

The Bafög Institution will send you a form, which you have to send to Mr. Gu. He will do some crosses and then you can send it back to the Bafög people.

202.120.2.30: /* Common tips */

This page is meant as a help for students going to China the following years. It is a updated version of Marco's article, a collection of tips and hints for the whole preparation progress, also considering the new dual degree agreement for TUB Bachelor students.

== Common tips ==
* Admission letter from TUB Professor
Get your TUB Professor (Prof. Mahr) to sign an official looking letter that you will be attending the SJTU university for two years and that the entire time is counted for your German study plan. Make plenty of copies of this letter.
* Keep copies of official SJTU letters
Some of the official SJTU letters you receive from Shanghai have to be handed in for example for your VISA application. Always keep some copies of these papers, because they still might be useful later.

== VISA ==
The VISA application has to be done at the chinese embassedy. The simple application is done within four weekdays and costs 20,- EUR. The required formulars are:

* "Visa Application for Study in China" formular, JW202
* "Physical examination record for foreigner" formular, including
** AIDS/HIV test results
** Syphilis test results
** Chest x-ray results (not the x-ray photographs, but a single page report by a doctor)

* "Admission notice", the official SJTU invitation that is
Note: all formulars that you fill out or get filled by other personel should be stamped with official looking stamps in red ink. Get a red ink pad before starting running for your formulars.

== Health ==
=== in China ===
The "physical examination record for foreigner" or "Gesundheitszertifikat" can be done at any hospital. We recommend the DRK Kliniken. The procedure can be a bit flaky, as the personell is not used to fill out the chinese health form. Basically, beside the basic examination (about 60,- EUR) what you need is a chest x-ray (40-50,- EUR), an electro-cardio-gram (ECG) (about 12,- EUR), and an HIV/AIDS and syphillis test (8,- EUR). If you do not know your blood group, you need an additional blood group test. If you have done a blood donation the group is usually written down in your blood donation form. Other places to look for it are in the vaccination pass or the motherhood pass of your mother.

Additionally you should be vaccinated for all the basic stuff (diphtheria, typhus, tetanus) and hepatitis A and B. Get your vaccination pass up to date and look out for combination vaccinations. Hepatitis A and B combined is about three times 70,- EUR and you have to receive the three injections after the first injection in one month and six month to one year intervals. This is also true for just Hepatitis B vaccinations. Hepatitis A vaccination alone can be given in one injection and last for one year. If a second hepatitis A injection is done within 6 to 12 month after the first, the protection lasts for 10 years.

Doppeldiplom SJTU

2009-09-07T04:31:29Z

202.120.2.30: /* Vorbereitung */

== Doppeldiplomabkommen ==

Im März 2003 wurde das erste Doppeldiplomabkommen zwischen einer chinesischen und einer deutschen Universität überhaupt geschlossen - zwischen der Shanghai Jiao Tong University und der TU Berlin.

Gestartet hat das Programm bereits im August 2003, als [[#2003 - 2005|vier deutsche Informatiker]] für das zweijährige Masterstudium an die Shanghai Jiao Tong University gegangen sind.

Mittlerweile wurde das Programm auf die anderen Studiengänge der Fakultät ausgeweitet und es können auch Elektrotechniker und Technische Informatiker daran teilnehmen. Darüber hinaus wurde in einem Austauschabkommen auch die Möglichkeit kürzerer Auslandsaufenthalte geregelt, welche zwar nicht mit dem Doppeldiplom enden, welches jedoch die gegenseitige Anerkennung der Prüfungsleistungen sicherstellt.

Im Oktober 2007 wurde das alte Doppeldiplomabkommen an den neuen Studiengang Bachelor/Master Informatik angepasst.

== Chinesisch lernen - 学习中文==

Zum Erlernen von Mandarin gibt es sicher viel zu sagen, so dass sich sicher eine eigene Wiki-Seite lohnen würde. Ich möchte hier nur kurz ein paar grundsätzliche Tipps geben.

* Nehmt an dem Programm teil, fahrt nach China und redet, redet, redet ;-) Anders funktioniert es einfach nicht ...
* Die [http://skb.tub-fk1.de/deutsch/gerindex.html Sprach- und Kulturbörse] der TU-Berlin bietet Chinesischkurse an. Damit hat man wenigstens einen Einstieg in die Sprache und kann in China darauf aufbauen.
* [http://www.chinesepod.com/ Chinesepod] ist ein Podcast aus Shanghai. Seit September 2005 wird jeden Tag eine neue Folge veröffentlicht. Man kann ohne jegliche Vorkenntnisse einsteigen und sich mit den späteren Folgen verbessern.
* [http://www.wenlin.com Wenlin (文林)] ist das beste Nachschlagewerk für chinesische Zeichen und eine exzellente Übersetzungshilfe.
* [http://www.rosettastone.com/en/individuals/languages/chinese Rosetta Stone] ist eine Software, die Mandarin per Assoziation mit Bildern vermittelt. Ohne Vokabellisten, Grammatikregeln und Übersetzungen wird nur per Bild, chinesischer Sprache und Schriftzeichen gelernt. Sehr empfehlenswert zum Verbessern des Hörverständnisses.

== Förderungsmöglichkeiten ==

Es gibt diverse Förderungsmöglichkeiten, hier ein paar Beispiele:

* Begabtenförderungswerke (wie die [http://www.sdw.org/ Stiftung der Deutschen Wirtschaft] oder die [http://www.studienstiftung.de/ Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes]) vergeben Stipendien, welche für einen Großteil des Studiums gelten. Für die Zeit des Auslandsaufenthaltes wird ein Auslandszuschlag bewilligt. Dies ist die wohl interessanteste Finanzierungsmöglichkeit, da neben der finanziellen Förderung, insbesondere bei der SDW, ein umfassendes ideelles Förderungsprogramm angeboten wird.
* Die [http://www.studienstiftung.de/ Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes] bietet neben der Grundförderung ein reines [http://www.studienstiftung.de/offen/china.html China Stipendienprogramm]
* Bafög wird im ersten Jahr weitergezahlt, es soll auch möglich sein im zweiten Jahr weiter gefördert zu werden, hierzu gibt es aber bei den bisherigen Austauschstudenten noch keine Erfahrungswerte.
* Auslandsbafög kann selbstverständlich auch beantragt werden.
* Prof. Hommel konnte den DAAD für das Doppeldiplomprogramm gewinnen (nicht die kürzeren Programme). Somit kann man bei zweijährigem Aufenthalt das erste Jahr vom DAAD gefördert bekommen. Bei direkter Bewerbung beim DAAD ist auch eine Förderung beider Jahre möglich.

== Vorbereitung ==

Sehr wichtig ist es sich vor Abreise ein wenig mit dem Land und der Sprache auseinanderzusetzen (siehe Chinesisch lernen). Darüber hinaus gibt es jedoch noch viele Dinge die beachtet werden sollten. [http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~makunze/ Marco] hat eine interessante [[Vorbereitung_China|Liste]] dazu verfasst: [[Vorbereitung_China|Vorbereitung für das Studium in China]]. Außerdem enthalten die Erfahrungsberichte ehemaliger TUB Studenten an der SJTU viele nützliche Informationen, nicht nur über die Vorbereitungen vor der Abreise. Diese Berichte können in der [http://www.auslandsamt.tu-berlin.de/menue/studium_im_ausland/ Infothek des Akademischen Auslandsamtes] im [http://www.studienberatung.tu-berlin.de/menue/studium/bewerbung_und_immatrikulation/ Campus Center] eingesehen werden, ein Erfahrungsbericht von September 09 ist [http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~mehlke/AbschlussberichtOeffentlich.pdf hier] online verfügbar.

== Chinesisch lernen - 学习中文==

Zum Erlernen von Mandarin gibt es sicher viel zu sagen, so dass sich sicher eine eigene Wiki-Seite lohnen würde. Ich möchte hier nur kurz ein paar grundsätzliche Tipps geben.

* Die [http://skb.tub-fk1.de/deutsch/gerindex.html Sprach- und Kulturbörse] der TU-Berlin bietet Chinesischkurse an. Damit hat man wenigstens einen Einstieg in die Sprache und kann in China darauf aufbauen.
* [http://www.chinesepod.com/ Chinesepod] ist ein Podcast aus Shanghai. Seit September 2005 wird jeden Tag eine neue Folge veröffentlicht. Man kann ohne jegliche Vorkenntnisse einsteigen und sich mit den späteren Folgen verbessern.

* [http://www.rosettastone.com/en/individuals/languages/chinese Rosetta Stone] ist eine Software, die Mandarin per Assoziation mit Bildern vermittelt. Ohne Vokabellisten, Grammatikregeln und Übersetzungen wird nur per Bild, chinesischer Sprache und Schriftzeichen gelernt. Sehr empfehlenswert zum Verbessern des Hörverständnisses.

== Förderungsmöglichkeiten ==

Es gibt diverse Förderungsmöglichkeiten, hier ein paar Beispiele:

* Begabtenförderungswerke (wie die [http://www.sdw.org/ Stiftung der Deutschen Wirtschaft] oder die [http://www.studienstiftung.de/ Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes]) vergeben Stipendien, welche für einen Großteil des Studiums gelten. Für die Zeit des Auslandsaufenthaltes wird ein Auslandszuschlag bewilligt. Dies ist die wohl interessanteste Finanzierungsmöglichkeit, da neben der finanziellen Förderung, insbesondere bei der SDW, ein umfassendes ideelles Förderungsprogramm angeboten wird.
* Die [http://www.studienstiftung.de/ Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes] bietet neben der Grundförderung ein reines [http://www.studienstiftung.de/offen/china.html China Stipendienprogramm]
* Bafög wird im ersten Jahr weitergezahlt, es soll auch möglich sein im zweiten Jahr weiter gefördert zu werden, hierzu gibt es aber bei den bisherigen Austauschstudenten noch keine Erfahrungswerte.
* Auslandsbafög kann selbstverständlich auch beantragt werden.
* Prof. Hommel konnte den DAAD für das Doppeldiplomprogramm gewinnen (nicht die kürzeren Programme). Somit kann man bei zweijährigem Aufenthalt das erste Jahr vom DAAD gefördert bekommen. Bei direkter Bewerbung beim DAAD ist auch eine Förderung beider Jahre möglich.

== Vorbereitung ==

Sehr wichtig ist es sich vor Abreise ein wenig mit dem Land und der Sprache auseinanderzusetzen (siehe Chinesisch lernen). Darüber hinaus gibt es jedoch noch viele Dinge die beachtet werden sollten. [http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~makunze/ Marco] hat eine interessante [[Vorbereitung_China|Liste]] dazu verfasst: [[Vorbereitung_China|Vorbereitung für das Studium in China]]. Außerdem enthalten die Erfahrungsberichte ehemaliger TUB Studenten an der SJTU viele nützliche Informationen, nicht nur über die Vorbereitungen vor der Abreise. Diese Berichte können in der [http://www.auslandsamt.tu-berlin.de/menue/studium_im_ausland/ Infothek des Akademischen Auslandsamtes] im [http://www.studienberatung.tu-berlin.de/menue/studium/bewerbung_und_immatrikulation/ Campus Center] eingesehen werden.

Doppeldiplom SJTU

2009-09-05T08:27:31Z

202.120.2.30: /* Weblinks */

== Doppeldiplomabkommen ==

Im März 2003 wurde das erste Doppeldiplomabkommen zwischen einer chinesischen und einer deutschen Universität überhaupt geschlossen - zwischen der Shanghai Jiao Tong University und der TU Berlin.

Gestartet hat das Programm bereits im August 2003, als [[#2003 - 2005|vier deutsche Informatiker]] für das zweijährige Masterstudium an die Shanghai Jiao Tong University gegangen sind.

Mittlerweile wurde das Programm auf die anderen Studiengänge der Fakultät ausgeweitet und es können auch Elektrotechniker und Technische Informatiker daran teilnehmen. Darüber hinaus wurde in einem Austauschabkommen auch die Möglichkeit kürzerer Auslandsaufenthalte geregelt, welche zwar nicht mit dem Doppeldiplom enden, welches jedoch die gegenseitige Anerkennung der Prüfungsleistungen sicherstellt.

Im Oktober 2007 wurde das alte Doppeldiplomabkommen an den neuen Studiengang Bachelor/Master Informatik angepasst.

== Gemeinsames Forschungsinstitut in Shanghai ==

Die Fakultät hat mit der Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) im März 2005 ein gemeinsames Forschungsinstitut in Shanghai gegründet, das
