The language ambassadors

Well known as the "cradle of diplomats", the university functions directly under the Ministry of Education and it is now listed under the national "double first-class" initiative.

Since the launch of reform and opening-up of China, it has been exploring ways to comprehensively expand its global vision.

At the 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Beijing, BFSU gave full play to the professional advantages of disciplines and sent out more than 900 teachers and students for volunteer service and the operation of a multilingual call center for the Games, using multiple languages, multiple channels and forms to tell the world the story of the Winter Olympics in Beijing.

Currently, it caters to undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral students, promotes mutual recognition of Chinese and foreign credits, and offers dual-degree programs. It has established strong cooperation with top foreign academic institutions and encourages students to participate in international teaching programs and internships with international organizations for hands-on experience.
