Inner Mongolia University is a university in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China, under the authority of the Inner Mongolia regional government. It is a member of the Project 211 and a Chinese Ministry of Education Double First Class Discipline University, with Double First Class status in certain disciplines.^[1]

The university has 4 campuses, covering an area of 1,990 thousand square meters.^[2] It consists of 20 colleges, under which there are 34 departments, and 1 independent department for general education.^[2]

Campuses[]

There are currently three separate campuses, all located in city of Hohhot. The main campus is adjacent to Manduhai Park. To meet the need for rapid development of higher education in both Inner Mongolia and the whole China, the University is undergoing an expansion on a large scale. A new campus is being built in suburban Huhhot.

Toli/Taoli Lake[]

Rengong Hu, an artificial lake constructed when the University was first built has been maintained during spring, summer and autumn. In winter, water is frozen and a part of the surface is operated as a skating rink, even though there is much garbage and many dead fish stuck in the ice.

Rengong Hu was later renamed Sai Hu (in Mongolian, ᠰᠠᠢᠨsai means good). During the Fortieth Anniversary of the founding of the University in 1997, it was again renamed as Taoli Hu (in Chinese, 桃李 Taoli means intellectual; while in Mongolian, ᠲᠥᠯᠦᠢ Toli means mirror). Its water surface is 13,000 square meters.

Characteristics[]

At nearly all colleges, a few courses taught in both Chinese and Mongolian are provided. Bachelor, Master and Doctoral degrees in a few majors are awarded by studying in Mongolian – some courses in the Chinese language are always mandatory.

In recent years, the University has also made efforts to provide courses taught in English, Japanese and Russian. For example, the College of Law has officially listed during an important, cosmetic curriculum reform since the mid-2000s. Many other colleges have followed this practice.

Organization[]

As most Chinese universities with strong Chinese characteristics, Inner Mongolia University includes a huge, bloated administrative system, besides its teaching and research system. There are even some enterprises operated under the umbrella of this university.

Teaching units at this University were originally called "department". At the end of the 1990s, almost all of them were renamed "schools" (in the sense similar to, e.g., law school), under which several departments were covered. However, currently on the University website, they are translated as "colleges" in English. It is yet unclear whether these colleges are still equivalent to schools, or are enlarged based on those schools. Furthermore, this will not become clearer in the near future.
