mb-cn is a specific program of the mechanical engineering Master’s program at Paderborn University:

• Major
  Select one of nine possible technical majors and the corresponding basic modules.


• Major-specific required electives
  Two major-specific required electives have to registered for.
  
  
• Technical required electives
  For mb-cn, the choice of required electives is predetermined by the required elective modules "Chinese" and "Technical communication in China". The remaining required elective can be selected freely.


• Non-technical module
  The non-technical module is predetermined by "Intercultural competence".


• Industrial internship
  The industrial internship is an engineering internship with the primary purpose to aquire some practical experience mainly related to mechanical engineering and/or process engineering.


• Student research paper
  "mb-cn"-students carry out their student research paper as part of a semester abroad at our partner university in Qingdao under the supervision of German scientists. At the same time, they offer tutorials for Chinese students with German language skills: learning by doing!


• Master's thesis
  The Master's thesis is carried out at least in part at a plant of one of our German partner companies in China, optionally in conjuction with an internship.

• "mb-cn"-Summer school
  The summer school is a four-week program and takes place in September prior to the start of the semester in Qingdao.

Degree: Master of Science (M. Sc.), complemented by a diploma supplement “mb-cn”
