The Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geodetic Science is delighted to celebrate the successful graduation of nine Chinese students from the first cohort of the double degree programme "Resources and Environment" between Leibniz University Hannover and Tsinghua University in China.

The graduates received their certificates at two ceremonies held at the main campus of Tsinghua University in Beijing and at the Tsinghua SIGS external campus in Shenzhen.

Six graduates have already found jobs in China in various sectors, including banking, the internet industry, advanced manufacturing and renewable energies. Two students will begin their doctoral studies at the partner university's external campus in Shenzhen after completing their Master's degrees. Another student enjoyed her stay at Leibniz University Hannover, particularly at the Institute for Sanitary Enginering and Waste Management (ISAH), so much that she decided to extend her time in Germany by another 18 months.

The double degree programme enables students from Tsinghua University and Leibniz University Hannover to study alternately at both universities and obtain a master's degree. Graduates of the programme are able to identify and address issues related to the protection of resources and environment. They develop viable concepts, implementable plans and technical solutions based on the latest methods and findings from science. Starting in the winter semester 2025/26, the programme will be offered as a separate specialisation within the Master's programme "Water Resources and Environmental Engineering" (WATENV).
