Student Union
The IFE has a Student Union formed by students themselves. Financially supported from the school administration, the Union organizes socio-cultural activities as well as extra curricular academics activities.
The earlier structure of the Union was the Student Council which was relatively small, founded in 1997. Until 2001 there was no stability in student organization activity. In 2001, the Student Council changed its name to Student Union and started to expand. On April 10, 2004, Student Union changed its name to back to Student Council. The reason of this change is uncertain. The latest change of its name occurred on October 1, 2007: the Student Council changed its status as non-government organization hence called Student Union under the chairmanship of Yusuntsagaanii Nomin-Erdene. The new Union adapted its constitution from the Student Council of Mongolian University of Science and Technology. However, there was need of changing the constitution as more clarified and complex constitution was urgent task. In early May 2008, the first draft of the constitution was presented by Sukhbaataryn Unur during the first student assembly. Little amendments were made and finally the constitution was ratified by the student assembly and signed by steering committee members Gelegbaataryn Uuganbayar (chairman), Mendbayaryn Baigalmaa (vice chair), Uvgunkhuugiin Erdenebat, Tsogbayar, Zolchimeg on May 26, 2008.
According to the constitution, the Student Union is divided into three branches similar to the state by based on separation of powers. The Student Assembly, Executive Committee, Control Council are the legislature, executive, judiciary bodies of the Union respectively.
The Student Union is governed by the Student Assembly, although day-to-day workings of the Union are handled by the Executive Committee. Representatives for the Student Assembly, the Chair's Office are elected/appointed between October and November each academic year.

If he loves, it is not to give himself, to blend in fecund union with another being, but to meditate on his love. His passions are mere appearances, being sterile. They are dissipated in futile imaginings, producing nothing external to themselves.”
