Study Abroad Programs in Myanmar

Myanmar, formerly Burma, is a country shrouded in mystery, its doors slowly cracking open to offer the world a glimpse inside. The Southeast Asian country is somewhat of a “final frontier” in terms of development and Westernization in Asia. The pristine state of its culture makes studying abroad in Myanmar an opportunity that is not only unique, but continuously evolving. Study abroad programs in Myanmar are still new and few, but the numbers are growing; so now is the time to strike while the iron is hot and study in a country that is both brand new and endlessly ancient.

How to Study Abroad in Myanmar

Yangon was the capital of Myanmar until 2005, but still holds the buzz and energy of a capital city with a population of over 5 million. There are currently four established institutions of higher education in Yangon and the The University of Foreign Languages hosts several study abroad programs. It offers several Asian and European languages and specializes in local students that hope to pursue a career in tourism or study abroad, but also has an excellent Burmese language program for international students who want to study in Myanmar.

Bagan, in central Myanmar, is one of the nation’s most popular destinations. Its skyline is cut out by over 2,000 temples and ancient structures, an area that has been compared to Cambodia’s Angkor Wat. However, Bagan is more of a secret, and also includes the famous sunrise/sunset hot air balloon rides. Students who find themselves studying abroad in this ancient city will typically be taking a specialized, educational tour that is part of another, larger program.

Inle Lake. This most likely won’t be the main site for your study abroad program in Myanmar, but is a vital stop on many educational excursions. It is about 270 miles north of Yangon in central Myanmar and is a very culturally significant site. It is famous for the Intha leg rowers, which are the local fisherman. They attach paddles to their legs for rowing so they are able to keep their hands free to maneuver their fishing nets. The lake if often a living classroom for several days for those who study abroad in Myanmar.
