On June 21, our school held a demonstration meeting of the “World History” undergraduate professional experts to evaluate the possibility of adding an undergraduate major in "World History". Liu Beicheng, a professor at the Department of History of Tsinghua University, Zhu Xiaoyuan, a professor at the Department of History of Peking University, a professor at the Department of History of Peking University, Peng Xiaoyu, a professor in the Yangtze River Scholar, Ding Chao, a professor at the European Academy of European Language, Mi Liang, a professor at Asia -Africa College, and Jin Limin, Director of the Education Department Essence The meeting was chaired by Li Xuetao, the dean of the Global History Research Institute and the person in charge of the world history professional.

Our university is a university that is mainly based on language, literature teaching and research. Based on language advantages, the research on world history is not only the call of the times, but also the general trend of the development of higher education. The Global History Research Institute is responsible for the construction of historical disciplines in Beiwai. With the support of the school, the Global History Research Institute will apply to the Ministry of Education to set up a "world history" undergraduate major, in order to gradually establish distinctive historical disciplines in Beijing. The training of Beiwai composite talents in the new era requires the demands of the national “Belt and Road” initiative.

Kim Limin said that Beiwai has a deep Chinese tradition, and Chinese science and history have a natural and close connection. This is a unique innate advantage in the development of the world history in Beiwai. From the perspective of the development needs of the school, Beiwai needs to cultivate a compound talent that has the ability to re -language and focus on a certain regional research. The opening of the world history professional will help this goal.

The demonstration experts fully affirmed the foundation and advantages of the Beijing University of Foreign Languages ​​to add a world history undergraduate major, and made suggestions on professional positioning, curriculum settings, and teachers. Experts believe that combining foreign languages ​​-especially non -general language and world history -opening a undergraduate major in the world history, new forces will be injected into the Beijing University of Foreign Languages ​​and History.
