Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur

About University

Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur (BRUR) formerly Rangpur University, emerged from a grassroots movement, initially established in 2001 as Rangpur Science and Technology University. Political shifts halted its progress until 2008 when it was reborn under caretaker governance, later renamed in 2009.

At Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur (BRUR), we embrace the transformative power of equity, diversity, and inclusion to shape a vibrant academic community that reflects the rich tapestry of our society.
