The School of Information Science and Technology, the only engineering unit at Beijing Foreign Studies University, plays a crucial role in advancing BFSU's strategy of integrating new liberal arts disciplines while adapting to the rapid development of artificial intelligence.

Since its establishment in 2009, the school has continuously promoted the cultivation of cross-disciplinary international talent, with a focus on nurturing elite computer professionals with an international perspective.

The school boasts a high-level faculty team with around 20 members dedicated to the development of professional talent at various levels, including undergraduate students, master's students, and doctoral candidates. Additionally, it offers a variety of teaching tasks for other students across the university, such as general education courses, elective courses and freshman seminar courses, which help meet the learning needs of students with different academic backgrounds.

The school has set up three specialized departments: the Computer Application Technology Department, the Artificial Intelligence and Data Science Department, and the Language Intelligence and Social Computing Department. It also houses cutting-edge research platforms such as the Language Intelligence Science Laboratory, the Image Processing (GPU) Technology Laboratory, and the Complex Systems Intelligent Decision and Game Laboratory. Additionally, it has established professional research institutions such as the Data Science and Intelligent Computing Research Center, as well as the Intelligent Agents and Computational Linguistics Research Center. All these establishments provide solid support for academic research and talent development.

The major for undergraduate enrollment is Computer Science and Technology, divided into two directions: Smart Computing Technology and Language Intelligence. The master's program focuses on Big Data Management and Application, while the doctoral program includes specialized courses in Big Data and Business Analysis, Translation Technology and Application Development, as well as International Logistics and Supply Chain Management.

The school focuses on the core discipline of Computer Science and Technology and integrates the Linguistics and International Communication disciplines that BFSU excels in, dedicated to building a new type of engineering education system that combines liberal arts and sciences with technological empowerment. This not only aligns with strategic measures taken by BFSU to adapt to the era of artificial intelligence but also serves as a crucial step in enhancing the comprehensive disciplinary layout of the university.
