Quick Summary

The National University of Mongolia, also known as Mongolian State University, was founded in 1942 in Ulaanbaatar, the capital city of Mongolia. It was the country's first institution of higher education, established as part of Mongolia's efforts to build public schools and create a trained intelligentsia after 1921. The university is a central feature of Ulaanbaatar, which originated as a monastery in 1639 and developed into a trade center before becoming the capital. Today, Ulaanbaatar is Mongolia's main industrial hub and is connected to China and Russia by rail and air.12
