About UFE

UFE is a long-established Mongolian university specialising in finance, economics, accounting, business and related fields. It trains many of Mongolia's bankers, accountants and managers, and has links with universities in Asia and Europe. It welcomes international students through its international programmes.

The MBA

UFE lists a Master of Business Administration for international students. Request the current course format, teaching language and postgraduate entry rules before applying. Important questions include:

• Is the programme taught in English, Mongolian or both?
• How long is it, and is it full-time?
• What work experience, tests and English level are required?
• What is the exact award title?

The same page lists a Bachelor of Business Administration but describes an International Business programme. If you are comparing undergraduate options, ask UFE to confirm the exact bachelor's award before comparing it with a BBA.

Why applicants consider UFE

• A specialist business and finance university in Mongolia's capital.
• Exposure to Mongolia's economy, which is driven by mining, trade and services.
• An unusual international experience in a distinctive culture.

Things to think about

• Confirm the teaching language first.
• Mongolia's job market is small and mostly in Mongolian.
• Very cold winters and air pollution in Ulaanbaatar.

How to apply

Contact UFE's international office for 2027-28 requirements, deadlines and documents. Expect to provide your degree, transcripts, passport, CV and language proof.

Fees and costs

Ask for the official 2027-28 tuition in writing. Living costs in Ulaanbaatar are moderate. Add accommodation, winter clothing, insurance, visa and travel.

Life in Ulaanbaatar

Ulaanbaatar is Mongolia's capital and economic centre, home to nearly half the country's population. It has modern shopping areas, museums, Buddhist monasteries and quick access to open steppe and mountains. Winters are extremely cold, and summers are short and pleasant, with the Naadam festival in July.

Funding your MBA

Ask UFE whether it offers tuition discounts or scholarships for international students, and whether the Mongolian government has any scholarship schemes open to Indian applicants. Indian education loans can also cover study in Mongolia if the university and course are recognised. Keep all fee receipts and pay only through official channels.

Is this MBA right for you?

A UFE MBA may suit people who already work with Mongolian companies or East Asian markets, or who want an unusual international experience at a moderate cost. It is less suited to those who need an internationally ranked MBA for a corporate career in India or Europe. Confirm the teaching language before anything else, and ask to speak with international graduates of the programme to understand what the experience is really like.

Careers after an MBA in Mongolia

Mongolia's economy is driven by mining, along with trade, banking, construction and tourism. Ulaanbaatar is the centre of business and finance. Most jobs need Mongolian, and foreigners need work permits. An MBA in Mongolia may suit people who already work with Mongolian or East Asian businesses, or who want regional experience in resources and trade. Discuss your goals with the university and our counsellors before you commit.
