History

edit

The predecessor of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies was Guangzhou College of Foreign Languages, established in November 1964 and officially enrolled students in July 1965, and Guangzhou College of Foreign Trade, established in December 1980. Guangzhou College of Foreign Trade and Guangzhou College of Foreign Languages were transferred to the management of Guangdong Province by the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade Cooperation and the National Education Committee in September 1994 and January 1995, respectively. [2]

In May 1995, the People's Government of Guangdong Province merged the two colleges to form Guangdong University of Foreign Studies.[2]

In October 2008, the People's Government of Guangdong Province incorporated Guangdong Vocational College of Finance and Economics, established in April 1996, into Guangdong University of Foreign Studies.[2]
