Beijing Foreign Studies University, China
About
Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) is one of the top public universities in Beijing. It was the first foreign language university in China and it offers the largest number of foreign language degrees, with 101 foreign languages currently being taught. Around 15% of BFSU’s 10,000 students are international.
Dual Masters degree programme
This programme is a collaboration between the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics at SOAS and the School of English and International Studies at BFSU. Students on BFSU’s MA Translation Studies or Master of Translation and Interpreting (MTI) can apply for this Dual Masters Degree Programme.
All students will commence the Programme at BFSU and then transfer to SOAS for the second academic year. Students will then return to Beijing to complete the final year of their Dual Degree at BFSU.
Students will need to produce two Masters theses, one at SOAS and another one after returning to BFSU. Upon successful completion of both programmes, students will receive a separate award from each university.
Progression agreement
In 2020, SOAS and BFSU signed a Progression agreement, which allows BFSU students to enrol on an undergraduate or postgraduate programme at SOAS and receive a discount of 20% on SOAS’ international tuition fees.
