International Summer School of Mongolian Studies

 

Background

 

The National University of Mongolia welcomes you to the International Summer School of Mongolian Studies – an exciting program with chances to explore magnificent natural, historical and cultural heritage of Mongolia, meet local people and students and learn about the last remaining nomadic civilization coexisting with contemporary urban life.

 

The International Summer School of Mongolian Studies is a unique opportunity for international undergraduates, graduates and continuing education students to actively participate in many different seminars, activities and trips. The participants gain an appreciation of the Mongolian history, culture and traditions, modern society, biodiversity and landscapes.

 

By visiting herdsmen families, you will have a chance to learn about everyday life of nomads. It is a journay to lives of ordinary Mongolians that will provide you with insight into traditional ways of using pastureland, water and forests and help you understand the values of natural resources for the rural people and their livelihoods. Relatively untouched large scale landscapes and rich biodiversity make the international students feel like tourists and scientists at the same time. The students seek answers how Mongolian economy can sustain without damage to the beauty of nature, nomadic culture and traditions and heritage.
