The university was founded in 1951 as the Beijing Institute of Foreign Trade. It provided education and training for government officials responsible for China’s economic and international business administration under the leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and Ministry of Education. It was first designated as a key university by the Chinese government as early as 1960[1] for its outstanding academic programs, and then designated as a national key university in 1978 after suspension in the Culture Revolution. Following the onset of Chinese economic reform under Deng Xiaoping, UIBE witnessed unprecedented development and expansion, and in 1984 was renamed the current name, University of International Business and Economics. In May 1997 UIBE was put on the list of "Project 211" universities of the first batch, a governmental program aimed at turning about 100 Chinese universities into exceptionally world renowned high-quality academic institutions in 21st century. In the year of 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, from then on, it has become one of the leaders not only in the studies of economics, business management and Law, but also in finance.[2] Since its establishment, UIBE was committed to make high emphasis on academic research and business practice, preparing students to work in the areas of business, economics, law, finance, foreign trade, foreign languages, etc.

Until 1989, graduates went to work either for the Ministry or the many state-owned import/export companies throughout the country.

Campus [edit]

Buildings [edit]

The campus has been nicknamed "Hui Garden" (惠园). Seven buildings are either dormitories or classroom buildings. There is a major academic building at the northwest of the site, which used to belong to the China Institute of Finance, named Boxue (博学楼). Another modern teaching building at the southeastern side,named Ningyuan (宁远楼). There is also an imposing structure in the middle of the campus, named Chengxin (诚信楼). A new library building was opened in October 2008.

Apart from the sports areas, the rest of the campus is pleasantly landscaped, grassy lawns, Chinese garden (south side), bird cage, and a water pond dubbed (humorous) the "Back Sea" (see Houhai) by students.

Some members of the administration have nicknamed the university "the Switzerland of Chinese universities", noting its compact size and high quality. The University recently hired a foreign branding expert - Alexander Goldsborough - as Director of International Marketing and Communications, to revisit the brand image of the University. As a niche University in the Chinese landscape, UIBE works hard to be innovative and welcoming to international students.

Foreign students [edit]

Over 70% of the foreign student population hails from the Republic of Korea (South Korea). Students from the DPRK, (North Korea), however, despite that country's proximity to China, are very rare. Recently, there has been an influx of Western European (Finland, France, Germany, Italy) and North American students. Japanese, Indonesian and Vietnamese students also account for a sizeable proportion of foreign students. Since 1998, the UIBE and Reims Management School have created a Franco-Chinese undergraduate program CESEM. It also has an exchange agreement for Spanish students with the prestigious Comillas Pontifical University. Other dual diplomas partners are Paris-based business school ESCE and Cardiff University.
