1. Introduction
Founded in December 1949, Shanghai International Studies University (SISU) is the first high-level foreign language school established after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Born as a university jointly established by both state and local authorities and directly under the Ministry of Education, SISU has grown into a national key university included in both the “211 Project” and “Double First-Class”initiative.
Since its founding, SISU has always maintained its academic advantages and high-level scientific research and teaching. It has the largest number of first-level doctoral programs among other language study institutes. Numerous disciplines have been assessed as A+ according to the Ministry of Education's discipline assessment standard and many have obtained top rankings in QS’s ranking of universities worldwide. For years SISU has also enrolled competitive students from all over the country and its minimum entry requirement for the 2017 college entrance examination scores the 17th in the country.
Since 1985, SBM has stood firmly at the forefront of academics, cultivated generations of international and extraordinary individuals and attracted an academic team of dreamers, foreseers and doers. It has gradually introduced talents from world-class universities such as the University of Pennsylvania, Georgia Institute of Technology, and the University of Cambridge, and has established a team of outstanding educators led by Changjiang scholars, scholars from “the Thousand Talents Plan“, Eastern Scholars (The Program for Professor of Special Appointment at Shanghai Institutions of Higher Learning) and chief experts on Major Projects of National Sciences Fund. Together as one, the school faculty will jointly bring disciplines to a higher ground and establish a well-designed cultivation system in line with the national strategy, building an international school flanked by scientific method and greater vision. Up to now, the SBM has grown into the best management school of its kind through the unremitting efforts of school faculty.
