The Consul General of the People's Republic of China, Dong Lin, visited the University. He spoke with President Bruder about German-Chinese academic exchange.
University President Prof Dr Ralph Bruder and the Vice President for Academic Career Paths, Equal Opportunities and International Affairs, Prof Dr Katharina Al-Shamery, welcomed the guest from China together with Jenka Schmidt, Head of the International Office and Dr Philipp Baur, International Affairs Officer. At the centre of the visit were the university's partnerships with Chinese universities, which have existed since 2003. Topics such as renewable energies and artificial intelligence were discussed for future co-operation.
The co-operation currently focuses on economics: The Master's degree programme "Business Administration: Management and Law" has a content focus on German-Chinese economic relations. Interested students can obtain a "China Competence" certificate.
Consul General Lin has headed the Chinese Consulate General in Hamburg, which is responsible for the Federal States of Hamburg, Bremen, Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein, since September 2025.
