1. Bangladesh University of Business and Technology (BUBT)

   Welcome to the Bangladesh University of Business and Technology (BUBT). It is one of the eight universities to receive the green signal from the government, despite being one of the very young private universities of Bangladesh - only 10 years old, established in 2003. It is modeled on North American universities and was duly approved by the University Grants Commission of Bangladesh (UGC) and the Ministry of Education, Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh.

   It was founded by Dhaka Commerce College, Mirpur-2, Dhaka-1216, and is managed by a Board of Trustees and a Syndicate, in which the Principal of the College and the Chairman of the Governing Body of the College are ex-officio members. Thus, BUBT and Dhaka Commerce College are two institutions working together in peace and harmony to impart quality education.

   Within a short time of its establishment, BUBT has succeeded in transforming itself into one of the leading private universities of Bangladesh and has since been providing quality education and training.

2. North South University

   The faculty members are very accomplished, with PhDs from American and Canadian universities. It has a unique campus, large and comfortable multimedia classrooms, the largest private university auditorium in Bangladesh, the most resourceful library, and a unique teaching method.

   Additionally, students from NSU are performing excellently in their workforce, in companies such as Unilever, British American Tobacco, UCB, etc.
