Which is better, Shanghai International Studies University or Beijing Foreign Studies University? Where's the good news?

Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) and Shanghai International Studies University (SISU) are both institutions that train top foreign language talents in China. As language schools, both schools are committed to the major of extensive and refined languages. Let's compare the professional characteristics, key disciplines, employment situation and geographical location of the two schools.

First, the professional characteristics of Beijing Foreign Studies University and Shanghai International Studies University (SISU)

Beiwai: a political base for cultivating high-quality talents.

Beijing Foreign Studies University, located in the imperial capital Beijing, belongs to the political center. Perhaps it is precisely because "the advantage is the first to get the moon" that Beijing Foreign Studies University is located in the Imperial Capital, so language study and employment at Beijing Foreign Studies University are more inclined to political diplomacy.

"The cradle of diplomats in the Republic of China" is not a hollow reputation. Take the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as an example. According to incomplete statistics, among the alumni who graduated from Beijing Foreign Studies University, more than 400 have served as ambassadors abroad, and 1000 have served as counsellors. Beiwai is committed to cultivating high-quality foreign-related talents in diplomacy, translation, economy and trade, journalism, law and finance, and has trained more than 90,000 talents.

Shangwai: Language, Business and Employment Oriented School in two combination Middle School.

Shanghai International Studies University is located in Shanghai, a bustling commercial city. Finance and business are definitely the best. Students in Shanghai will pay attention to the top 500 foreign companies, consulting, FMCG, finance and so on from their freshman year. The school is also full of various mock recruitment competitions and presentations by foreign companies. Those who have never heard of it are familiar with it.

Second, key disciplines

Compared with Shanghai International Studies University, Beijing Foreign Studies University has a long history. "Ginger is still old and spicy": Beijing Foreign Studies University has three key disciplines: English language and literature, German language and literature, foreign linguistics and applied linguistics.

In contrast, the key subjects of Shanghai International Studies University are only English language and literature and Russian language and literature. Although the number of students is slightly less than that of Beijing Foreign Studies University, they all have their own advantages.

Confucius Institute-Beijing Foreign Studies University has undertaken 2 1 overseas Confucius Institutes, which are distributed in 17 countries in Asia, Europe and America. Shanghai International Studies University has opened seven overseas Confucius Institutes, covering Asia, Africa, Europe and South China, dedicated to promoting American culture and communicating with world civilizations. It seems that here, Beiwai is better.

Beiwai benefited from a long history and developed earlier. * * * offers 6 1 foreign language courses, and many infrequently used minority language courses are only offered in Beijing Foreign Studies University. Most of these students will enter diplomatic and consular institutions after graduation.

Shanghai International Studies University has 22 language courses, including the main languages of Russian, French, German, Western and Eastern languages.

Shanghai International Studies University is the only professional interpretation school in China that ranks among the top 15 in the world, and has opened the first doctoral program in translation studies in Chinese mainland. Van Gogh College of Shanghai International Studies University has been awarded the highest rating by the International Association of Conference Interpreters (AIIC) in the world. It is the only professional conference interpreting school in China, including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and ranks among the top 15 in the world.

Advanced translation is better than foreign language translation.

Third, the employment situation

Employment situation of graduates from Beijing Foreign Studies University

The undergraduate employment units of Beijing Foreign Studies University mainly include state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, foreign-funded enterprises and government agencies. Although 26.63% of the graduates from Beijing Foreign Studies University will be employed in Fortune 500 companies, the proportion of state-owned enterprises is the largest, and the proportion of government agencies and units is getting stronger and stronger.

Especially in the key units of undergraduate employment, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ranks first, which shows that the focus of Beijing Foreign Studies University graduates is politics and diplomacy.

Secondly, 60.78% of Beijing Foreign Studies University graduates will stay in Beijing for employment, followed by Shanghai and Guangdong. Most students who are partial to political employment insist on employment in Beijing, and some students choose to go to coastal cities. After all, there are many foreign companies in Shanghai and Guangdong, and there are great employment opportunities.

Employment situation of foreign graduates

Graduates from Shanghai and abroad gather in various enterprises: foreign-funded enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises and other enterprises. Compared with Beijing Foreign Studies University, very few graduates will go to the party and government organs. This is closely related to the training direction of the school, so most enterprises will go to Shanghai to recruit, compared with politically related units.

Secondly, Shanghai is the main destination for foreign college graduates, accounting for 80.52%, followed by Beijing (4.53%), Guangdong (4.53%), Jiangsu (4.27%) and Zhejiang (2.47%).

Fourth, geographical location.

Beiwai-Beiwai and Shangwai have one of the strongest competitors, and that is Peking University. In the subject evaluation over the years, Peking University ranked first in foreign languages and literature (93 points), while Beijing Foreign Studies University, Shanghai International Studies University and Nanjing University tied for second with 88 points. Therefore, although Beiwai is located in Beijing and has political advantages, it needs to face the competition brought by Peking University and Beiwai.

Shangwai-far from Beijing, foreign companies are rich in resources. Shangwai is the only foreign language university in Shanghai, and there is no university that opposes it. Therefore, Shanghai definitely has the capital to be "spoiled and arrogant", which is slightly better than the previous one.

Summary: For example, the difference between Beijing Foreign Studies University and Shanghai International Studies University is not so big. For the same type of university, the strength is equal and the reputation is good. It may be a good choice to compare the differences when making a choice.
