📖 About the university

Yunnan Minzu University in Kunming, founded in 1951, serves Yunnan's exceptional diversity — the province is home to more ethnic groups than any other in China. It is a leading centre for the study of China's minority peoples and, uniquely, for the languages and cultures of neighbouring South and Southeast Asia. The university teaches Thai, Burmese, Lao, Vietnamese and other regional languages alongside ethnology and the arts. It also has growing programmes in chemistry and environmental science. Its position as a gateway to ASEAN makes it a natural home for international students.
