It was established in 1957 in Hohhot, the capital city of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Being awarded the national key comprehensive university by the Ministry of Education of China in 1978, it was listed as one of 100 universities of the former "211 Project" universities for key construction and development in 1997. [2]

It is included in the Double First Class University Plan designed by the central government of China.

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.
