The University of East Yangon (Burmese: ရန်ကုန် အရှေ့ပိုင်း တက္ကသိုလ် [jàɴɡòʊɴ ʔəsʰḛbáɪɴ tɛʔkəθò]), located in Thanlyin in the southeastern suburbs of Yangon, is a liberal arts and sciences university in Myanmar. The university offers bachelor's degree programs in liberal arts and science and law.[2]

A train service opened in 2006 connects the university campus to downtown Yangon. About 2000 students use the service daily.[3]

New Convocation Hall building is finished and had been grandly opened on 25 November 2014.[4]

History

The University of East Yangon was founded in 2000. The move was widely believed to be part of the Burmese military government's plan to disperse university students across many universities and colleges around the country. Students who would have attended Yangon University now have to attend Dagon University or East Yangon University in Thanlyin, southeast of Yangon.[5]
