“China at full throttle”, “The world economy’s engine shifts to a higher gear”, “Chinese export exceeds all expectations”. A glance at newspaper headlines suffices to become aware of China’s growing importance in the world.
Group T anticipated this development when, almost 20 years ago, it started collaborating with China. The first Chinese bachelor students arrived at Vesalius Campus in 2000. That same year, Group T students visited the People’s Republic for the first time. Meanwhile, 250 Chinese students obtained an engineering diploma from Group T. By that time, over 2,500 Group T students and faculty had gotten to know the country.
The Confucius Institute at Group T asked 3 engineers to testify about their experiences during and after their time at Group T.
