北京语言大学 Beijing Language & Culture University (BLCU)

Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU) is the only one of its kind in China with its main task set at teaching the Chinese language and culture to foreign students. BLCU has carried on for more than 40 years its consistent aim of popularizing Chinese language and promoting Chinese culture.

Early in the 1950s when the undertaking of teaching Chinese as a foreign language (TCFL) was still at the initial stage, the first generation of BLCU teachers had taken an active part in the pioneering work.

Tsinghua is developing into a comprehensive university at a breathtaking pace. Currently, the university consists of 44 departments distributed in 11 schools, has over 20,000 students, including 12,000 undergraduates, 6,200 master's degrees candidates and 2,800 doctoral candidates.

The Tsinghua faculty and students have left a lasting imprint on the history of modern China. Among the over 100,000 students who have graduated from Tsinghua since its founding are many outstanding scholars, eminent entrepreneurs and great statesmen remembered and respected by their fellow Chinese citizens.

With a splendid legacy accumulated over the past 90 years, Tsinghua has retained its character and charm while promoting rigorous scholarship research, ensuring academic and educational prestige in China and abroad.
