Beijing Forestry University (BFU) has a history that dates back to 1902 when the Forestry Section of the Agriculture Department of the Imperial University of Peking was established. Beijing Forestry University provides a wide range of courses such as Artificial Intelligence, Automation, Biology, Computer science, Economics, Electronics, Environmental Science, Forestry, Languages, Laws, Management, Mathematics, Physics and Psychology. To share its environmental friendly mind to the world, the university is now providing modern technologies for people to protect the earth.[2][3][4] In 2011, it participated in the establishment of Beijing high-tech university alliance with 11 other universities with industry characteristics.
Beijing Forestry University was founded as the Forestry Department of the Imperial University of Peking in 1902. In 1952 it became an institute and was renamed to Beijing Institute of Forestry. In 1985 it was renamed to Beijing Forestry University and focused on a wide range of new subjects including Electronics, Computer Science, Psychology and Economics.

BFU is a well-equipped institution, featuring the Central Building of Teaching, a gymnasium, laboratories, and a high-speed campus network. A computerized checking system exists for library books and the library building is the Imported Teaching Materials Center for forestry universities and colleges nationwide. Construction of a high-rise student apartment building and a new classroom building was completed in 2001.
In recent years, nearly 200 discoveries in scientific research received awards from national, provincial and ministerial authorities and more than 20 achievements of teaching were rewarded by the national and municipal governments. BFU is engaged in international academic exchanges and cooperation with more than 150 universities and research institutions in over 20 countries, providing opportunities for contacts between China and the outside world in the fields of forestry and environmental studies.
BFU provides an atmosphere for teaching and learning combining the acquisition of professional knowledge with an improvement of all-round abilities (with an emphasis on forging a rigorous, creative academic style). Systems of optional courses, subsidiary courses, course exemption, and bachelor-to-master continuing education have been established so students may develop according to their own interests and desires. The university also offers extracurricular activities to enrich campus life; these are organized by student societies and associations in fields including science and technology, art, sports, environmental protection, and politics.
