Why Tongji?
Testo

With its exceptional graduates and extraordinary results both in teaching and research, the College of Civil Engineering enjoys an excellent international reputation (ranked number one in the world according to the Academic Rankings of World Universities). 

Its first-class laboratories, such as the State Key Laboratory of Disaster Prevention, the Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel Laboratory and the Shaking Table Laboratory, are at the cutting edge globally.

Its principal partners for international exchanges include prestigious Australian and British universities.

A double degree always has additional value. Companies and organisations look for employees with an international outlook and an open mind who are able to work in multicultural teams and face ever-changing global challenges.

In addition to good career prospects, civil engineering graduates can aspire to roles at the top of international companies which have relations with China, one of Italy’s most important commercial partners.

Who can apply
Testo

Applications are welcome from UniTrento students enrolled in the first year of the master’s in Civil Engineering with a B2 level of English who:

  • have earned at least 48 credits;

Duration, organisation and tuition fees
Testo

The mobility period lasts for 3 semesters.

UniTrento students must:

  • complete 60 ECTS in the first year of the master’s programme at UniTrento;
  • stay for at least 3 semesters at the host institution and obtain at least 43 Chinese credits (equivalent to 77 ECTS) at Tongji including seminars, courses of Chinese, academic activities in addition to their course, and the thesis work following the jointly agreed study plan.

Of the 43 Chinese credits, no less than 7 must be for common degree courses, no less than 18 must be for professional degree courses, no less than 8 must be for additional courses and 10 for mandatory special courses.

The credits obtained from the degree courses can substitute credits from non-degree courses, but credits obtained from non-degree courses cannot substitute the degree course credits.

Up to 21 credits can be transferred from the home university on condition that the courses correspond or are identical to those offered on the Tongji degree course. The proposal for credit recognition must be approved by Tongji University.

In addition to the 43 credits, credits for the master’s thesis discussion should be taken into consideration. In addition to the above requirements, students much also:

  • finish the studies at Tongji no later than the end of the 6th semester;
  • graduate within 12 months of obtaining the total number of credits required to be awarded the qualification (with the exception of particular, documented reasons which will be evaluated individually).

The courses are taught in English. Tongji offers free Chinese language courses.

Students participating in the double degree programme continue to pay their tuition fees to UniTrento.

At the end of the double degree course students will be awarded two separate qualifications:

  • a Laurea magistrale in Civil Engineering from UniTrento; and

  • a Master's Degree in Civil Engineering from Tongji.
