Since its founding in 1955, China Foreign Affairs University (CFAU) has been dedicated to grooming China’s most promising young minds with global vision and great learning to work for China’s foreign services and for world peace and prosperity. Directly affiliated with China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and co-built by the Ministry of Education, CFAU offers a unique educational experience that prides itself in intellectual integrity and academic excellence. 

CFAU was the first Chinese university to offer Diplomatic Studies as a major at the undergraduate level, and was also amongst the first group to confer Ph.D. and Master Degrees in International Relations and Diplomatic Studies. CFAU has two nation-level first class undergradugate majors: Diplomatic Studies and English and International Studies, one province-level first class undergraduate major: International Law, and one post-doctoral research station. China National Association for International Studies and Chinese Society of International Law, two nation-level academic organizations, have their secretariats on CFAU campus. The Research Centre for Beijing International Exchanges and Foreign Affairs Administration under the auspice of the Beijing municipality, is also based at CFAU. As an important foreign policy think-tank, CFAU is China's focal point for the NEAT (Network of East Asian Think-tanks) ，NACT (Network of ASEAN-China Think-tanks) and NTCT (Network of Trilateral Cooperation Think-tanks). Foreign Affairs Review—Journal of China Foreign Affairs University has been rated as a “National Excellent Journal for Social Sciences” and a “National Core Journal for Humanities and Social Sciences”. 

Over the past 65 years, approximately 20,000 students have graduated. Amongst CFAU’s alumni, more than 30 have been charged with official ministerial duties, about 500 have served as ambassadors to foreign countries, and more than 1,000 have served as counselors in Chinese embassies abroad, directors of governmental departments and agencies other than the Foreign Ministry, or professors and scholars with senior professional titles. It’s no exaggeration to say that wherever China’s red five-star national flag is raised, there are alumni of CFAU present, making CFAU truly worthy of the name, “The Cradle of Chinese Diplomats”.
