AMBASSADOR OF THE 

FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY IN CHINA 

Beijing, November 2012 

Dear Reader, 

in October 2012, Germany and China celebrated the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations. Today, 

our countries enjoy a long-term strategic partnership which extends into all major sectors of our 

societies. Our political relations are strong, they are built on trust and mutual interest. Our second 

German-Chinese Intergovernmental Consultations in August 2012 and the opening of our 5th German 

Consulate in Shenyang/Liaoning have highlighted this close and deep cooperation in a very symbolic 

yet also practical way. Our economies are the most important for each other in Asia and in Europe. 

And our cultural exchange has grown dynamically over the past few years as well. Today, we can say 

without exaggeration: our bilateral relations have never been better before. 

It is always people, who are the backbone of such a partnership; people, who have experienced 

both countries’ culture, tradition and value system, people, who are building bridges for mutual trust 

and understanding. This is why we want to engage more and more young people on both sides. As 

China will be one of the important global players in the 21st century, young Germans need to acquaint 

themselves with Chinese culture, language and business environment. 

As early as 1996, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) started to organize the 

program “Language and Professional Training in China“. The program combines business oriented 

language training with professional experience to prepare outstanding German graduates and young 

professionals for their careers in China. Scholarship holders receive first-class Chinese language 

training at the renowned Beijing Foreign Studies University. Field trips, seminars and meetings with 

local Chinese and German institutions and companies complement the program, which has proved 

to be very successful. 

This year’s participants again represent a great range of academic backgrounds covering business 

management, law, economics, international relations, physics, architecture, chemistry and psychology. 

Graduates of this outstanding program will qualify for leadership and management positions in German 

or Chinese companies, especially for cross-cultural interface functions. The career development of 

the program’s alumni over the last 16 years is prove of the success of “Language and Professional 

Training in China“. I am confident that the participants of this program will continue to contribute 

successfully to the further development of our Sino–German relations. 

I wish all participants best of luck and success for their future careers.

“LANGUAGE AND PROFESSIONAL TRAINING IN CHINA“ 

Beijing, November 2012 

Dear Reader, 

On the following pages you will find the portraits of ten excellent German graduates currently 

participating in the DAAD scholarship program “Language and Professional Training in 

China” sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. 

It has been my pleasure to accompany the scholarship holders ever since their arrival in 

Beijing in automn of 2012: to support their intense studies of the Chinese language at the 

Beijing Foreign Studies University and to provide them with first- hand insight into the existing 

Sino-German relations and businesses. Through our DAAD alumni network we have unique 

access to enterprises and institutions, enabling us to regularly organize company visits, on 

site meetings and high level discussions between distinguished experts and the participants 

in order to enhance their knowledge of the specific working environment and the overall 

economic and social situation in China. 

Furthermore, we aim to strengthen their ability to successfully handle cultural and interpersonal 

aspects and promote these competences by enhancing personal exchange and cross cultural 

experiences and by providing a mentoring scheme. 

Characterized by their outstanding academic performance and inert interest in China 

the participants of this scholarship program are currently looking for the most promising 

opportunities the professional world has to offer. 

I personally wish them all the best for their time in China and beyond!

“Language and Professional Training“: business leaders for the Chinese market 

The program “Language and Professional Training” was launched 25 years ago, initially 

with focus only on Japan, from 1996 on also with focus on China. Its main goal is to 

qualify outstanding German graduates for leading positions in the Sino-German business 

environment. Because of their acquired language skills, specific and intercultural knowledge, 

the graduates of the program are able to meet the demand for highly qualified staff of Chinese 

or German enterprises. Every year, the DAAD selects up to 10 participants from the fields 

of natural science, engineering, law, economics, social sciences and architecture in a highly 

competitive selection process. During the period of 16 months, the successful candidates will 

be able to get a clear picture of the challenges and chances of living and working in China 

through intensive language training and professional training. 

Structure of “Language and Professional Training” 

The program starts with a three-weeks preparatory language course which is held at the 

SINICUM in Bochum. The following 10-month intensive language course (September – June) 

is provided by the Beijing Foreign Studies University, one of the most renowned schools 

for teaching Chinese as a foreign language. Participants are taught Everyday Chinese and 

Business Chinese with course materials which are tailor-made for the needs of European 

students. Besides attending the language courses, the participants are offered an 

accompanying program of company visits, seminars and lectures, organized by the DAAD 

branch office Beijing. Another important part of “Language and Professional Training” is a 

oneweek study trip to Shanghai. Finally, the participants undergo a six-month professional 

training period (July to December) in German, Chinese, or international companies or 

institutions of their choice. The current scholarship holders can now fall back on a tight 

network of program alumni in key positions in companies around China.
