ESPACE Double Degree Program with Wuhan University, People’s Republic of China

Highly qualified ESPACE students now have the opportunity to participate in a recently established Double Degree Program with Wuhan University (WHU) in China. The program lasts three years and involves a minimum 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 semester will be spent at the TUM (where students will attend the courses of the regular ESPACE 3rd semester) and the 6th semester will be dedicated to a Master’s Thesis. The Master’s Thesis will be co-supervised by teachers from WHU and the TUM and can optionally be carried out either at the WHU or at the TUM.
