ituated in the outskirts of Dhaka City, Uttara University is a center of excellence for tertiary education in Bangladesh. It was started in 2003 with a few students and departments. But by now it has grown as a full-fledged university offering under-graduate and graduate programs and research opportunities. It is widely recognized nationally and internationally for its motto of quality education at affordable tuition. The graduates produced here and their job placements are the reflections of quality education at Uttara University. In this cosmopolitan campus, students from all walks of life can have access to the tertiary education and avail the opportunity to face the global challenge and lead a relatively high standard of living. To upgrade the students academically (using international collaboration), with etiquette and grooming, the prime objective is to help grow students professionally. The university helps them prepare for demanding corporate fields along with the development of their professional and rational skills.
