Feedbacks
My favourite part of the entire program was the course on chemical substance identification, which gave me a whole new understanding of chemistry experiments and strengthened my determination to pursue studies in chemistry. During the lab sessions, the instructors were very patient and provided excellent guidance, helping me improve the accuracy of my experimental operation. This experience has also given me a clearer understanding of chemistry experiments and the chemistry field as a whole.

My favourite part of the entire program was the course on synthesizing aspirin. It gave me a completely new understanding of this field and strengthened my determination to pursue studies in chemistry and pharmaceuticals. The instructors' teaching methods were excellent and unique, enhancing my independent learning skills and increasing my interest in these subjects. Additionally, it provided me with a clearer understanding of what to expect in university life and learning methods in the future.
—— Ulink College of Beijing, Student Feng
Attending classes every day is my favourite part. Each class includes hands-on experiments, which I find to be an invaluable opportunity. This experience has given me a more comprehensive understanding of biological research, improved my teamwork skills and provided a clearer insight into the university curriculum for my future major.

Why us
History
XLAB has a 20+ year history. It was initiated by Professor Neher of the University of Göttingen in Germany and strongly supported by the German government and the University of Göttingen. XLAB, centered around high-end scientific experiments, is widely favored by over 10,000 students yearly. XLAB has established practice centers worldwide, aiming to expand this unique concept and teaching method to reach more students.
XLAB aims to enable more people to learn and experience the joy of science, encouraging them to explore the mysteries of science and consider how to use science to solve human problems. Therefore, XALB's subjects are generally more complex in physics, biology, or medicine. Instead, they focus more on interdisciplinary, cutting-edge topics such as genetic engineering, medical research, nanobiology, medical chemistry, high-energy physics, and more.
Subject
Experiment
Experiments are the core of the XLAB. Each participant can enter advanced laboratories to conduct safe experiments, analyze data, and write experiment reports. Over six hours of scientific research daily enhances students' scientific knowledge and logical thinking and cultivates concentration and endurance. Students will be able to experience the work content and status firsthand and consider whether to choose a research direction in future education.
The courses in XLAB are unique. They consist of four key modules: Subject Introduction and Program Thinking, Scientific Research Teaching, Laboratory Operations, Experimental Data Analysis, and Research Report Writing. All courses are taught in small groups of 10 to 25 students.
Course
Faculty
Experts are invited to design experiments and teach students since the topics and content of XLAB exceed the curriculum of high schools and are specialized in specific research areas. Relevant scientific research institutions support XLAB China and provide an in-depth academic experience for Chinese students based on its unique teaching methods and experimental requirements.
Two authoritative certificates are available: the XLAB Program Certificate of Participation, which details the experimental content and is signed by instructors. Students will complete an academic report containing experimental results and data analysis to apply for the ASDAN "Science Award" Certificate for 30 credit hours of study officially accredited by UCAS.

Research
XALB provides invaluable research scenarios for students who plan or are currently engaged in natural science research-oriented learning, such as EPQ or scientific papers, to implement their research plans and participate in hands-on scientific research. Experimental reports can be considered as part of their research achievements.
