History
Busan University of Foreign Studies was founded in 1981 by the late Chung Tae-sung. His philosophy for education was that young intellectual minds must become leaders internationally. Busan University of Foreign Studies was founded as a college for studying foreign languages in April 1982 with its first students studying English, French, Japanese, Chinese, German, Indonesian, Malay, and Thai. Through the 1980s, the college expanded its programmes and finally became a university in 1991. As of 2009, Busan University of Foreign Studies has academic exchange program agreements with 94 universities in 24 countries. It's published in May in 1994 Quarterly Pusan International Forum.
Whatever the religious history of the institution may be, notably, at present, the university expresses its mandate in Christian-missionary terms (e.g., "building up a leader's character based on Christianity").

BUFS consists of 7 colleges, four graduate school programs, and nine research institutes. The language portion of the school is structured in three of the colleges: College of English, Japanese, and Chinese, College of Occidental Studies, and College of Oriental Studies.

Eastern languages in addition to Japanese and Chinese include Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malaysian, Burmese, Hindi, Arabic, Turkish, and Uzbek.
