Terengganu sending students to Germany

KUALA TERENGGANU: Terengganu has chosen Germany as a base to train its students in automotive engineering starting this year, says Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Said.

He said the state decided to place students at the Technical University of Berlin because of Germany's success in making the world's top cars such as BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz.

"The university has agreed to accommodate Terengganu students doing autmotive engineering but first they must learn the German language," he said here on Wednesday.

Ahmad said the expertise gained will give the people of Terengganu more opportunities to work in some of the top automotive companies in the world.

"The number of students sent will be based on need, their willingness and eligibility to attend the course," he said, adding that the Terengganu Foundation would sponsor them.
