These programs are designed to provide students with an opportunity to study general education courses and explore an academic field in depth.

The world around us is undergoing dramatic transformation. Scientific and technological innovations have reshaped our way of life and altered the mode of production processes. A global village is emerging. Distance and time barriers are collapsing with the advancing technologies in transportation and information systems. The growing worldwide integration has produced a whole series of consequences – economic, political, cross-cultural and environmental, which are related to every important sphere of our life. The rise of China is having a major impact on the balance of global economic and political power. The world is moving toward a multi-polar global century with collaboration and competition, rather than isolation, as its main feature. With an ever changing and complex global climate, it is the responsibility of educators to provide students with the necessary tools needed to face future challenges.

Built upon UIBE’s long tradition of producing global-ready graduates, the IUPs will provide international undergraduates with the same preparedness that current UIBE graduates possess. To meet arising global challenges, the IUPs will provide students with rich knowledge, high-level skills and responsibility and ability to integrate knowledge from their major fields and other disciplinary aspects to solve complex real world problems.

Today, UIBE is one of the most sought after academic institutions in China, a place of study for China's most talented students; its prime aim is to equip students not only with professional competency and superior analytical skills, but also independent thinking, excellent multi-lingual communication skills, and a global outlook and awareness.

UIBE was founded in 1951 as the Beijing Institute of Foreign Trade. In 1960 it was designated as a "key university" by the government for its outstanding programs. In May 1997 UIBE was put on the list of "Project 211" universities, a governmental program aimed at turning about 100 Chinese universities into exceptionally high quality academic institutions in the new century. In 2000, UIBE was merged with the China Institute of Finance and consequently reinforced its status as one of the leading academic institutions specializing in the fields of economics, business, insurance, management, finance, law, and international trade.

In December 1989, UIBE became the first university in China to have a Board of Trustees composed of members from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, Bank of China, People's Insurance Company of China, Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce, and several others. Li Lanqing, the former Vice-Premier of the State Council, took the chair for its first session, and Wu Yi, former Vice-Premier of the State Council, chaired the Board for its second session.

The University of International Business and Economics (UIBE), is located in the lovely Chaoyang District, the most international area of Beijing, located in the Northeastern part of China's capital Beijing; a stone's throw to many of Beijing's most revered monuments, easily accessible to all points of the capital thanks to an ultra efficient and comfortable transportation subway network.
