International Relations Office

The International Relations Office of the University of Yangon was established in 2017, and reports to the Pro-Rector for Academic Affairs, Dr Omar Kyaw.

The role of the IRO is to support the University to achieve its international objectives by providing professional, efficient and effective services to the Rector and the senior team, departments, staff and students.

    • Assisting staff with participation in international events.
  2. Services to students
    • Informing our students about international scholarship opportunities
    • Supporting students to make scholarship applications
    • Advising students going out on exchange programmes
    • Assisting incoming international students including a welcome programme and problem-solving (for example when their financial support does not come through)
