分类:

Tianjin Foreign Studies University (TFSU), specialized in language and cultural studies, is one of the earliest eight such designated institutions of higher learning. The university provides undergraduate and graduate instruction in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Management.

The University has 14 colleges and departments that grant both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Additionally, a number of non-degree programs are available for students in need of professional training. Altogether 31 undergraduate programs are offered between three disciplines. Among all these programs, four have won national awards, and another 12 have been awarded prizes by the local government.

Overseas students and non-collegiate persons having received equivalent education may also apply for MA candidacy. Meanwhile, TFSU is home to more than ten research centers and institute. All play a key role in the city’s research in Humanities and Social Sciences. Two magazines are published by the university: Tianjin Foreign Studies University Journal and World Culture. The former focuses on academic research, while the latter introduces different cultures among different nations. Their great popularity has continually contributed to cross-cultural communications between China and abroad.

Today, TFSU has matured into one of the city’s best universities. Its 10,000 students come from China’s 28 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions. The faculty is a richly diverse group of men and women who are leaders in their respective fields of study, among whom at least 50% (up to 90% in some majors) have experience studying or working abroad, and 22.5% have obtained Doctorate Degrees. More than half of the faculty members hold professorship, among whom 19% are graduate students’ supervisors. Each year, over 100 international experts and teachers are invited to work at the university.
