Exchange Trip for a Chinese Girl

My name is Qian Liu, from Zhejiang Province, China. I am a doctoral student at home University, and I am very honored to come to the University of Munich for exchange. I fell in love with this place almost on the first day I arrived.

There are two main reasons for coming to exchange. On the one hand, after a long period of paper writing, I am a little tired and want to find a different environment and a new mood. I hope I can have more special life experiences. On the other hand, I know that there are relatively few exchange students at the doctoral level. Generally speaking, doctoral students are under heavy scientific research pressure, so they are less likely to participate in exchange student projects. But I want to change the research environment to discover some new ideas. This is not only a new personal journey for me, but also a new academic exploration for me.

I had some expectations for this exchange. First of all, I hope to gain a basic understanding of the profile and operating models of German media organizations through this course. If possible, I hope to be able to produce a paper, which I hope to have the opportunity to do so. Secondly, I hope to experience the German customs and broaden my horizons. If I have more expectations, I hope to find some new inspiration for my doctoral thesis through three months of study.
