I. Introduction to the School
The School of Foreign Languages of Northwest University was formerly known as the Department of English Language and Literature of Northwest University. Established in 1924, it is the earliest foreign language discipline founded in the western region of China. Renowned linguists and translators such as Wu Mi, Chu Dagao, Shui Tiantong, Zhong Zuoyou, and Cao Jinghua have taught here successively; broadcaster Qi Yue once studied here. In 1952, during the reorganization of departments, part of the institute merged into Peking University, while another part became the precursor of the School of Foreign Languages of Xi’an International Studies University and the Department of Foreign Languages of Yan’an University. The Department of Foreign Languages of Northwest University ceased to exist. In 1979, it was reestablished. In 1988, the Department of College English was established. In 2000, the School of Foreign Languages of Northwest University was established by integrating the Department of Foreign Languages, the Department of College English, and relevant foreign language teaching units within the university. Starting in September 2025, the School will enroll undergraduates for the English (Country and Region Studies Pilot Program) program.
The school currently has seven departments: the Department of English, the Department of Japanese, the Department of Russia, College English Teaching and Research Department I, College English Teaching and Research Department II, College English Teaching and Research Department III, and Comprehensive Language Teaching and Research Department. It has one first-level discipline authorized to confer master’s degrees in Foreign Language and Literature, with three master’s degree programs in English Language and Literature, Japanese Language and Literature, and Foreign Linguistics and Applied Linguistics.
