Message from the Vice Chancellor

Bangladesh University of Business and Technology (BUBT) is one of the top-ranking universities in Bangladesh which started its journey in the year 2003. I am happy to present to you our university and welcome you to be involved in the progress of the university as its stakeholders. Over the last 17 years, BUBT has grown its stature and is now regarded as a globally recognized university. It is now members of prestigious organizations like Association of Commonwealth Universities, the Association of International Universities and the Association of Management Development institutions in South Asia.

At present BUBT offers 20 different undergraduate and post graduate programs under five faculties namely: i) Faculty of Business ii) Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences iii) Faculty of Arts & Humanities iv) Faculty of Social Sciences and v) Faculty of Law. Very soon, BUBT is going to start B.Sc in Civil Engineering with the approval  from the University Grants Commission (UGC).

BUBT is well known for conducting its academic programs and examinations as per schedule. With its highly qualified faculty members, BUBT is imparting quality education to its students and exerting all efforts to make its graduates as worthy citizens who can contribute positively towards socio-economic development of the country. The main aim of imparting quality education to our students is to make them socially responsive and maintain ethical values in all spheres of life. We want our students to be life long learners to contribute positively in their professional lives.

BUBT has more than 8000 students pursuing undergraduate and post graduate studies under different programs. The strength of faculty members stands at 264 with 15 Ph.D. holders. As part of our human resource development program, around 49 faculty members are granted study leave to pursue higher studies abroad. Very recently, we have signed MOU with Central Queensland University (CQU), Australia and five faculty members of BUBT are selected to pursue post graduate program at CQU with partial financial support from BUBT.
The permanent campus of BUBT is located at Rup Nagar, Mirpur with extremely good road communication network. There are four multi storied spacious buildings in the permanent campus with a floor area of about 300,000 square feet.  The basic facilities available in the campus include administrative section, faculty buildings, rich library, controller of Exam section, well equipped and state of the art laboratories, spacious medical center, hygienic canteens, alumni meeting rooms, rooms for different club activities, beautifully decorated and spacious auditorium with a seating capacity of 300 guests, prayer rooms, banks & banking booths, ATM card booths etc. Very near to the permanent campus, BUBT has a sports complex consisting of cricket & football ground together with volleyball and badminton courts. The total area of the complex is 34,000 square meters (22 Bigha) with two permanent buildings used as VIP meeting room and shed for players respectively. Fascinating scenic beauty with a large water body along the eastern side of the complex has made the whole sports complex especially attractive.

The 600 MBPS internet connectivity of the university has been extended to all the students, faculties, officers using wi-fi technology. All academic and other offices have been brought under digital network to transform hard copy-based paper work into e-offices gradually. Also, under present COVID pandemic situation, we are conducting all our classes (including simulation-based labs) through digital platforms like Google classroom, Google Meet etc.

Engaging faculties and senior students in research are one of the prime goals of BUBT. To encourage research activities, “Call for Research” proposals are invited twice in an academic year and research grants up to BDT 5 lac per proposal has been earmarked for potential research proposals. Senior faculty members actively engage junior faculties and senior students in the research work with an ultimate goal of publishing high standard journal & conference papers. Co-curricular and extra-curricular activities are integral part of our academic programs. To engage students in such activities, different clubs have been formed at the department level as well as in the central level under the direct supervision of Director of Student’s Welfare.

The landscape of higher education is fast changing with the advancement in technology and easy access to knowledge through different digital platforms. Our graduates will be facing new challenges and new world order in the post COVID era and new innovative methods to be adopted to meet the rapid and complex changes in different sectors arising due to pandemic situation. We are preparing our graduates to face such challenges in promoting self-reliance, inclusiveness and building societal cohesion.

Our mission is built on three strong foundations:

• Academic Excellence
• Teaching & Research
• Service to the society and our beloved country

We have a dream and all the family members of BUBT are working together to implement the dream of “transforming BUBT into center of Excellence” and one of the top-ranking universities in South East asian region within next five years.
