Institute of Chinese Studies University of Cologne
German 中 文	About Chinese Studies in Cologne The Professorship of Sinology (Chinese studies) and Manchurian studies at the University of Cologne was created in 1960 and directed by Prof. Dr. Walter Fuchs, who held the chair until 1970, when his directives were continued by his student Prof. Dr. Martin Gimm. After Prof. Dr. Martin Gimm became Professor Emeritus in 1996, the subject Manchurian studies was struck from the Register of the Philosophy Faculty and is unfortunately no longer offered by the University of Cologne. Currently the chair is held by Prof. Dr. Helmolt Vittinghoff and supported by Martin Müller, M.A. The reference library at the Institute is in the process of being digitalised and is fortunately accessible again here. Books, which have not yet been digitalised (those purchased pre-1996) can be found in the computerised index-card catalogue (same link as above). Enquiries about studying Sinology and queries specifically concerning China will be gladly answered by staff of the institute. Terms of study and examinations as well as information on the various presentations and lectures can be found by following the relevant links on the institutes homepage. Classical Chinese Studies will be integrated into the new B.A. study course Asian Cultures and Societies (KuGa) or into the M.A. study course Chinese Studies from the Winter semesters 2007 / 2008 and 2008 / 2009 respectively. More information (German version) about KuGa can be found at http://www.uni-koeln.de/phil-fak/studium/studieninformationen/bama/studiengaenge. The dates for the last possible intermediate examination (Zwischenprüfung) as well as those for the last possible Magister examination can be requested from the University Secretariat.
