Description

Beijing is a city of contrasts - a modern Asian boom-town that strives to preserve the cultural landscape of its glorious past while all around the glass and steel emblems of its dynamic present flourish. As the political and cultural capital of China, Beijing attracts people from all over the country, and IES Beijing students are exposed to a variety of regional variations of Mandarin Chinese, as well as to the current events shaping modern China. Destined to be the heart of the world's largest economy in the 21st century, Beijing is the place to be.

This culturally engaging program offers enrollment in IES Abroad courses, housing in homestays and in student residence halls, regular meetings with local students as language and cultural partners, and extensive travel study and field trips. You will have the opportunity to meet Chinese and international students alike. Starting at the IES Abroad Center on the west campus of Beijing Foreign Studies University, you will gain a meaningful cultural experience and a deeper knowledge of what it means to be a citizen of the world.
