Qingha iNationalities University was established in December, 1949. It was Qinghai’s earliest university of higher education and one of the earliest minorities’ universities in China. Also, it is one of the first universities to offer a Master's degree. Subjects offered by the university include art, science, law, economics, management, history, medicine, and engineering, as well as others. The university is well-established, with multiple subjects and degrees offered in both the sciences and the humanities. The Chinese language and literature department at the university has a long history with a richly experienced faculty. The Tibetan department is nationally recognized. The law, economics, management, mathematics and chemistry departments are among the most advanced in Qinghai. The social sciences are also strong and have been lauded for many achievements, especially for the historical, cultural, and linguistic research among Qinghai’s minority nationalities (Tibetans, Hui, Tu, Salar, and Mongolians).Currently, there are 10,000 students studying at the university from over 31 minority groups and 27 different provinces.Tibetan, Hui, Tu, Salar, and Mongolian students are especially numerous.
The university also emphasizes training international students, as is reflected in its emphasis in accommodating the individualized needs of its students. Foreign students can pursue many courses of study, including Chinese postgraduate training, nonmatriculating postgraduate work, as well as Chinese language and culture, Tibetan language and culture, as well as other undergraduate subjects. The university also organizes short-term study programs, as well as one-to-one summer camps. The Chinese program for foreign students started quite early (1983), and so both the full-time and part-time teachers have much experience in teaching Chinese as a foreign language.
