Profile of the School of Foreign Languages, Qingdao University

The School of Foreign Languages of Qingdao University was founded in 2002, tracing its origins to the Department of Foreign Languages established in 1985, whose first cohort was jointly trained by Nankai University and Qingdao University. The School currently offers six undergraduate programmes: English, Japanese, Korean, German, French, and Spanish. From 2021 to 2025, all its undergraduate programmes were included in the Best Chinese Majors Ranking by ShanghaiRanking for five consecutive years. Among them, German, English, and Japanese are National First-Class Undergraduate Major Construction Sites. The German programme is part of the Shandong-Bavaria Educational Cooperation Project between the Shandong Provincial Government and the Government of Bavaria, Germany. The Korean programme is both a Featured Major of the Ministry of Education and a Provincial First-Class Undergraduate Major Construction Site. The English teacher-education programme, together with the “Language Big Data” and “SCO English-Russian Bilingual” innovation experimental classes, has developed distinctive strengths. The School is currently home to one national virtual teaching and research office, one national first-class undergraduate course, four provincial-level first-class courses and smart courses, two provincial model courses for curriculum-based ideological and political education, and nine courses available on national sharing platforms such as Chinese University MOOC.

In graduate education, the School offers a second-level interdisciplinary doctoral programme in Language, Culture and Data Science, a first-level academic master’s degree programme in Foreign Languages and Literatures, and professional master’s degree programmes in Translation and Interpreting, as well as Education. The academic master’s programme comprises five second-level disciplines: Foreign Linguistics and Applied Linguistics, English Language and Literature, German Language and Literature, Japanese Language and Literature, and Asian and African Languages and Literatures. Japanese Language and Literature is a key discipline of Shandong Province. The professional master’s programmes include Subject Teaching (English) and eight specialisations under the Master of Translation and Interpreting programme. From 2019 to 2024, Foreign Languages and Literatures at Qingdao University was ranked among the top 100 in the Best Chinese Subjects Ranking by Shanghai Ranking for six consecutive years.

With a strong focus on discipline development, talent cultivation, scientific research, social service, and international exchange and cooperation, the School has actively promoted innovative reforms to build distinctive disciplinary and programme strengths in language data science, translation and international communication, and area and country studies. It has advanced interdisciplinary integration and programme development through the models of “language + data science,” “language + area and country studies,” and “language + smart education.” Under the New Liberal Arts initiative, the School was the first in China to establish the English Language Big Data Innovation Experimental Class and the SCO English-Russian Bilingual Innovation Experimental Class, significantly enhancing the quality of training for interdisciplinary foreign-language talents.

As of June 2026, the School has a total of 1,480 enrolled students, including 1,246 undergraduates and 234 postgraduate students (including part-time postgraduates). The School has 112 faculty and staff members, including 96 full-time faculty members, 9 faculty members at the rank of specially appointed professor or professor, 33 associate professors, 1 doctoral supervisor, 7 co-supervisors for doctoral students, and 40 master’s supervisors. Among the faculty, 49.02% hold doctoral degrees, and 75.8% have overseas study or research experience. Faculty members hold positions in more than 20 national and provincial academic organisations, including the Teaching Advisory Committee for Foreign Language and Literature Majors in Higher Education under the Ministry of Education and the Expert Committee of the China National Committee for Translation and Interpreting Education.

In the past five years, faculty members of the School have led 62 research projects at the provincial level or above, including projects funded by the National Social Science Fund of China, as well as 65 other vertical and horizontal research projects, with total research funding reaching RMB 11.33 million. They have published 96 academic papers in SSCI-, A&HCI-, and CSSCI-indexed journals, as well as 78 monographs and translated works. The School has received 10 research awards at various levels, obtained 20 national software copyrights, and established two provincial think tanks for foreign affairs research and development, one provincial joint graduate training base, and one Qingdao youth talent team in philosophy and social sciences. It is also home to two provincial outstanding graduate supervisors, two experts included in the Shandong Provincial Foreign Affairs Translation Expert Database, and one provincial distinguished teacher.

Upholding the fundamental mission of fostering virtue through education, the School has strengthened grassroots Party building and promoted innovation in ideological and political education. It has developed the distinctive Party-building brand “Broad Learning in Foreign Languages, Dedicated Commitment to China” and carried out innovative four-in-one practices for the collaborative cultivation of foreign-language talents through multilingual ideological and political education in the new era. The Fourth Student Party Branch was selected for cultivation and development as one of the third batch of national model Party branches for Party-building work, and successfully passed the final evaluation. The Party Committee of the School was honoured as an Advanced Primary-Level Party Organisation of Qingdao, and has repeatedly been recognised by the University as one of its Top Ten Advanced Primary-Level Party Committees and as an Advanced Primary-Level Organisation.

The “Waishibang” Foreign Affairs Assistance Youth Volunteer Group was recognised as one of the national “Four 100” advanced models of Lei Feng volunteer service, receiving the National Best Volunteer Service Organisation Award, and was also awarded the Outstanding Organisation Award for Chinese Young Volunteers. The iSTEP Dream Choir won the Second Prize at the Sixth National College Student Art Exhibition and has won the First Prize at the Shandong Provincial College Student Art Exhibition for four consecutive years. The School has developed a “1+3+N” multilingual ideological and political education brand matrix, and has fostered a number of ideological, political, and cultural student organisations, including the Party-Building Pioneer Camp, the Boyu Xiyan Society, the “Echo: Translation and Narration” Multilingual University History Team, the “Hongli” (Red Etiquette) Lecture Team, and the “Yixiang” Translation Workshop. It has also developed a series of ideological and political education brands, including the Foreign-Language Short Drama Competition, “Translating China through Poetry,” and “Translating Red Family Letters,” achieving remarkable results in talent cultivation.

Over the years, the School has cultivated a large number of outstanding talents who have gone on to serve the country in various fields, including leading talents and young top-notch talents under the National Ten Thousand Talents Plan, young Changjiang Scholars and New Century Excellent Talents supported by the Ministry of Education, National Outstanding Teachers, Taishan Scholars, government officials, and senior executives in enterprises and public institutions.
