Yantai University

Yantai University (Chinese: 烟台大学) is a university in Yantai, Shandong, China.

Yantai University was established in 1984 and has around 20,000 students. It has academic links with the United Kingdom, Canada, Norway and the United States.

There usually are a number of teachers drawn from the USA, UK and Canada working at the university; mainly in the large English department although one or two teachers work in the business studies faculty. It is also home to overseas students who are studying Chinese language.

The university is a twenty five minutes ride away from the city centre by No10 and No7 bus, both of which terminate outside the railway station and quite close to one of the several long-distance bus stations in the city. The Coal College now renamed Shandong Institute is no more than a fifteen minute walk from the university's north gate.

Even though Yantai University is a regional university, it has benefited tremendously from the support and sponsorship from Peking University and Tsinghua University when it was first founded. The faculty of the law school began with some renowned legal scholars from the Law Department of Peking University and the law school still hosts several nationally known legal scholars.
