About UIBE
The University of International Business and Economics (UIBE)
www.uibe.edu.cn, situated in China's capital Beijing, was founded in 1951
as the Beijing Institute of Foreign Trade. In 1960 it was designated as a
"key university" by the government for its outstanding programs. In May 1997 UIBE was put on the list of "Project 211" universities, a governmental
program aimed at turning about 100 Chinese universities into exceptionally
high quality academic institutions in the new century. In 2000, UIBE has
become one of the state universities under the leadership of the Ministry of
Education, and in June of the same year it merged with China Institute of
Finance and has since then become one of the leaders in the studies of
business and finance.
UIBE consists of over 20 academic schools, departments and research centers.
Among the over 30 bachelor, master and doctoral programs that UIBE offers,
International Trade, International Economic Law, English Language and
International Business Management have been designated as key programs under
"Project 211". In December 1989, UIBE became the first university in China
that had a Board of Trustees composed of members from the Ministry of
Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, Bank of China, People's Insurance
Company of China, Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce, etc. Li Lanqing, the former
Vice-Premier of the State Council, took the chair for its first session, and
Wu Yi, Vice-Premier of the State Council, chaired the Board for its second
session.
At present, UIBE has a total enrollment of more than 20,000 students coming
from 30 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in China as well as
over 30 countries and regions in the world. The university invites dozens of
foreign academic professionals to teach or lecture every year in addition to
its 1,400 teaching and administrative staff members who carry out its
regular curricula. UIBE is one of the first universities in China to have
initiated academic exchanges with foreign academic institutions. Currently
UIBE has exchange programs with over 100 universities and institutes in more
than 30 countries or regions among the world. In the past few decades UIBE
has been proud of the performance of its graduates, many of them now playing
active roles in promoting business and economic cooperation between China
and other countries. UIBE welcomes more and more outstanding candidates to
join its programs and enjoy a bright future in the new century.
