The Master’s in Foreign Language and Literature at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) is a full‑time graduate program (typically two years of study) that belongs to the humanities and social sciences and focuses on advanced study and research in languages, literature, culture, and related interdisciplinary areas within the foreign languages and literatures field. It prepares students to systematically master core theories and research methods in subjects such as foreign linguistics and applied linguistics, translation studies, English and other foreign literatures, comparative literature and cross‑cultural studies, and country and area studies, enabling them to conduct academic research, critical analysis, and cultural interpretation at an advanced level. International students in this program take a combination of compulsory and elective courses, undertake guided research under the supervision of a faculty advisor or mentoring group, and must complete and defend a master’s thesis to demonstrate original insight and scholarly competency; the total credit requirement for degree completion typically includes a set number of credits from degree (core) courses and other coursework. The academic experience also includes compulsory elements like A Survey of China and Comprehensive Chinese, with a requirement to pass a Chinese proficiency exam (e.g., HSK 3 or equivalent) by graduation if applicable. Graduates are well prepared for careers in education, translation and interpretation, publishing and media, cultural analysis, international communication and cooperation, or further academic study in literature, linguistics, or related humanities disciplines.
