There is no military training in Jinan University, because there are many foreign students and it is unfair for the school to enroll students separately, so there is no military training. There are only two universities in China that do not need military training: Jida University and Huaqiao University.

Jinan University, referred to as "Jinan University" for short, is the first overseas Chinese college founded by the state in China, and is known as "the first overseas Chinese school in China". It is the university with the largest number of overseas students in China, a national "2 1 1 Project" university, directly led by the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, and a pilot university in the "Excellent Doctoral Education and Training Program" of the Ministry of Education. The word "Jin 'an" comes from the article "Shangshu Gong Yu": "The east is gradually in the sea, the west is in quicksand, and the south is combined, and the sound teaches the world." It means facing South Asia and spreading Chinese culture.
