Foreign Languages and Literatures (Language Intelligence Experimental Class)

1. Interdisciplinary Direction • Addressing the demand for millions AI professionals through cross-disciplinary collaboration: As large models redefine the boundaries of language services, Beijing Jiaotong University’s Foreign Language and Literature programme (Language Intelligence Experimental Class) employs a “linguistics + AI” interdisciplinary approach to create the optimal pathway for liberal artsstudents into the field of artificial intelligence. Skill Integration: Revolutionizing traditional language learning—while mastering first and second foreign languages, liberal arts students acquire the “language technology codes” of the AI era (Python programming, natural language processing, large language model training, computer vision technology courses). High-Salary Employment: Upon graduation, students can immediately enter the blue ocean of AI’s million-talent demand. Positions such as language intelligence engineer and AI product manager offer starting salaries of 15,000-30,000 yuan, far exceeding traditional liberal arts roles, while serving national strategies like “Transportation Going Global" and "AI Large Models". Advanced Study Navigation: Leveraging a “linguistics + technology” composite background, students gain priority access to master’s programs at top domestic and international universities in cutting-edge fields like computational linguistics, language data science, and digital humanities. 

2. Innovative Curriculum system • Exclusive AI Technology Empowerment for Liberal Arts Students:Leading the “Language Application + Linguistics + Artificial Intelligence” trinity language intelligence core curriculum framework. Access to seven laboratories including the Beijing Demonstration Center for Experimental Teaching. Collaborative language intelligence internship bases were established with ByteDance, iFlytek, China Daily, CICG, and other enterprises and institutions, providing a dual-mentor system and project-based technical empowerment practices and long-term training for liberal arts students. Combined with the AI (natural language processing) series courses specially designed for language majors within the curriculum, it ensures that students can master and apply knowledge effectively, cultivating humanities ambassadors who understand technology and technological pioneers who comprehend the humanities.
