Inner Mongolia University (IMU) is a provincial public university in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China. It is affiliated with the People's Government of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and co-funded with the Ministry of Education of China. The university is part of Project 211 and the Double First-Class Construction.
The university has four campuses, covering an area of 1,990 thousand square meters.[1] It consists of 20 colleges, under which there are 34 departments, and 1 independent department for general education.[1]
As of February 2006, the university provides 92 programs for master's degrees and 59 undergraduate majors.[2] About 2,414 staff members work with the university, including 1,303 full-time teachers and researchers, among whom are 744 professors and associate professors.[1] Inner Mongolia University has officially signed agreements of exchange and cooperation with 20 foreign universities.[2]
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.
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, ᠲᠣᠯᠢ Toli means mirror). Its water surface is 13,000 square meters.

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.
