About University

Presidency University has a rich legacy of nurturing young minds, fostering innovation, and producing individuals who excel in their chosen fields. With a dynamic and diverse community of students, faculty, staff, and alumni, it has created a vibrant academic environment that encourages learning, critical thinking, and personal development.

The quality and relevance of education the young generation in Bangladesh receives is of great importance to our country’s development. The nation, therefore, has a great stake in how our universities are educating and training the students. Soon after the emergence of Bangladesh in 1971, the public universities were stretched to their limits in accommodating the growing number of students seeking higher education. To prevent the outflow of talented students to foreign universities, the government of Bangladesh enacted the Private University Act 1992 which increased the educational opportunities within the country. The Presidency University Foundation, a dynamic group of 30 teachers, leaders of business and industry, and retired government officers, came together and petitioned the government for a permit to establish and operate Presidency University. On July 21, 2003, the Ministry of Education (MoE) of the Government of Bangladesh (GoB), in keeping with the Private University Act 1992, authorized the establishment and operation of Presidency University. Thereafter, Presidency University opened its door to students in September of 2003. One of the key aspects that set Presidency University apart is dedication to providing accessible education. It firmly believe that education is a fundamental right, and strives to make it affordable for all deserving students. Tuition fees are carefully designed to ensure that financial constraints do not hinder anyone from pursuing their dreams. Through thoughtful planning and responsible management, it has been able to strike a balance between maintaining high educational standards and offering affordable fees. Their  commitment to academic excellence is reflected through  faculties who are experts in their respective fields and are passionate about imparting knowledge. It strive to provide  students with a world-class education, equipping them with the skills and expertise necessary to flourish in an ever-evolving global landscape.  At Presidency University, it is  believed that holistic education  goes beyond textbooks and classrooms .
