Beijing International Studies University

Beijing International Studies University is a public university founded in 1964, jointly supported by China’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Beijing municipal government. Its academic strengths centre on foreign languages, translation, tourism, economics and trade, with teaching and research connecting language expertise to international business, cultural exchange and public affairs. The university’s Chaoyang campus lies near Beijing’s central business district and Tongzhou, while its Yanqing campus supports intensive Chinese study and intercultural teaching activity.

BISU publishes international undergraduate and English-taught graduate offerings alongside Chinese-language study, advanced visiting study and integrated Chinese-plus-subject routes. Its School of International Education provides Chinese-language education and cultural activities, while specialist schools publish separate international degree curricula and admission guides. Applicants should distinguish standard degrees, shortened Chinese-language entry routes and non-degree visiting study, because their qualifications, durations and application windows differ. Beijing government, university and programme-specific awards also have separate selection and renewal conditions; scholarship thresholds and graduation language targets are kept separate from ordinary entry requirements.
