Faculty Profile

    The history of Faculty of Foreign Studies (FFS), Jiangxi University of Science & Technology, can be

English major of Foreign Trade. In 1997, the Department began to enroll the undergraduates of the

teaching institutions, the Department of Foreign Languages and the Department of Social Science were

amalgamated into Faculty of Liberal Arts & Law. In 2003, Faculty of Foreign Studies (FFS) was founded

and the International Economic & Trade major was set up at the same time. In 2007, FFS will open the

newly-created Japanese major to the national enrollment.
