The Spanish language program of Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) was first started in 1952 and the Portuguese language program in 1961, both being the first in China. Over the years, the Department of Spanish and Portuguese has made significant contribution to the political, economic and cultural exchanges between China and Spanish & Portuguese speaking countries.

In 1979, our Spanish program was the first in China to be authorized to offer master’s degrees in Spanish language studies and in 1996, it became the first in China to offer doctoral degrees in Spanish language studies. In 2010, it was recognized as a Beijing municipal key program.

Our Spanish program aims to produce qualified professionals with solid language competence who work in different sectors such as diplomacy, foreign trade, education, culture, science & technology and the media. There are 25 teachers in the Spanish program, including 4 full professors and 5 associate professors. Each year, two foreign teachers are recruited.
