Shanghai International Studies University (SISU) (simplified Chinese: 上海外国语大学; traditional Chinese: 上海外國語大學; pinyin: Shànghǎi Wàiguóyǔ Dàxué) is a globalized and top-notch university in People's Republic of China with an established reputation for foreign language education and international studies. Established in December 1949, SISU is known for being one of the earliest institutions where China’s higher education in foreign languages took shape. As a member of Project 211, it has successfully developed a diverse and distinctive mix of disciplines with language and literature as its pillar. Over the past 60-plus years, SISU has grown from a mono-disciplinary Russian school into a multi-disciplinary foreign language institute and now is becoming a highly prestigious international university.
