[edit] Center for international education

Center for International Education (UIR-CIE) is a part of the University of International Relations, but separate both in mission and location. Its primary function is to provide Chinese language training programs for foreign students studying in China. The center provides intensive training programs and short term programs in addition to semester programs. Its mission is now very similar to that of Beijing Language and Culture University(BLCU), being commissioned for teaching Chinese language and culture to foreign students. UIR-CIE has a sub-campus outside of the main UIR campus. It is located in close proximity to that of BLCU and other Chinese universities in Haidian District, Beijing.
