About the School

The Institute of Global Humanities at Nanjing University was established under the lead of the School of Arts, with cooperative support from the School of Foreign Studies and the School of Liberal Arts. Both the School of Liberal Arts and the School of Arts are joint-builders of the "Chinese Language, Literature, and Art" double first-class discipline cluster. The discipline of Art Studies has 14 professors (12 of whom are doctoral supervisors), including one senior university professor in liberal arts at Nanjing University, one foreign member of the European Academy of Sciences, two individuals selected for the national high-level talent program, and two selected for the national young talent program. The foreign languages and literature discipline, established in 1917, is one of the first institutions in the nation to award doctoral degrees. It has the authority to award first-level discipline doctorate degrees and has been selected twice for the Ministry of Education's first-class discipline construction project.
