Why GMIT?
Engineers play a crucial role in today's society. As indicated by a survey conducted by the online platform interestingengineering.com, the field of engineering is becoming increasingly significant and is projected to be in high demand in the future. Additionally, the prosperity of Mongolia relies heavily on the knowledge and expertise of its engineers.
To address this need, Mongolia and the Federal Republic of Germany collaborated to establish GMIT which aims to train competent professionals in science, technology, mining, and environmental studies. GMIT is committed to achieving international recognition for its exceptional standards in education, research, and innovation.
GMIT's objective is to cultivate highly skilled, socially conscious, globally acknowledged, and innovative engineers by adhering to international best practices and standards to foster sustainable economic growth in Mongolia. The Mongolian Ministry of Education and Sciences (MES) and the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) support the development of GMIT and its partnership with German universities. The German support for GMIT is facilitated by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
