1. Basically, the majors of Beijing Foreign Languages and Shanghai Foreign Languages are combined with English majors. Whether you are a minor language major or a trade finance major, English is equivalent to your second major, and you have to take CET-4, CET-6 or CET-8.

2. You can also minor in other languages, which does not conflict with English. However, the languages available for minor in various schools are limited, and not all languages will be provided. Take my school as an example. My minor is only French, Japanese and German, and Spanish is an optional course for a second foreign language.

Generally speaking, the minor can finally take the corresponding professional level 4, such as French level 4 and German level 4. I didn't know there was a Band 8 exam. On the other hand, the minor certificate does not belong to the national registered degree, and even if the thesis passes, it will not get the same degree certificate as other majors. No way, there are very few real double degrees in the country. But on the other hand, what is the significance of a degree certificate in language? There are more language certification exams. It is also good to study at school and then take other certification exams.
