The School of Foreign Languages of the Mongolian University of Science and Technology was established in 1992 as the Center for Foreign Languages. The school name has been changed several times with the restructure of the university since its establishment, such as the School of Language Education, The Institute of Foreign Languages and the School of Foreign Languages.

In 2000, the first 25 students graduated as Engineer-Teacher in English-Russian and six students graduated successfully as Engineer-Teacher in Japanese-English. In 2001, students graduated from the Lyceum School with advanced foreign language training for the first time.

In 2002, the Mongolian University of Science and Technology (MUST) structured the professor’s system, and a professor’s team of Russian, English, Japanese Studies, and Comparative Linguistics was established at the School of Foreign Languages.

In 2004, the “Program to Improve the Quality and Effectiveness of Foreign Language Teaching” was approved by the order of the Rector of the Mongolian University of Science and Technology. The Mongolian University of Science and Technology signed a cooperation agreement with the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA). In addition, a professor’s team of Korean studies was established.

In 2007, “Engineering Preparation Training”, in 2008 in “Technical Translation” (English, Korean, Japanese), and in 2009 in “Technical Translation” (Chinese) started their educational operations.
