Victoria University of Bangladesh

About University

Victoria University of Bangladesh (VUB), a seat of learning and scholarship, dedicated to provide them with high quality education and for preparing them to face the challenges of new millennium. In its efforts for raising the level of living of the people, Bangladesh needs high quality high-level human resources and VUB is committed to deliver this.

The foundation of Victoria University of Bangladesh is laid on Global Institute of Business and Technology (GIBT), Dhaka - the only approved educational partner center of Victoria University of Wellington (VUW) in South Asia - which started functioning in 1999. In March 2001 it signed a partnership agreement with Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. The partnership agreement was designed to jointly provide degree programs for students with facilities for studies both at GIBT and VUW leading to VUW degrees.

The program thus offered an unique opportunity of securing a highly prestigious degree of VUW. GIBT merged with Victoria University of Bangladesh when the latter was accorded permission on 31 May 2003 by the Government of Bangladesh to function as a full-fledged university under the Private University Act. The university was established with sole sponsorship of Mr. K.B.M. Moin Uddin Chisty, a philanthropist. 

As a late entrant in the field as a private university we are endowed with certain advantages. The most remarkable advantage is that we can capitalize from the experience of others. From the very beginning we have had a commitment and clear vision to our progression and we have an appropriate strategy for our programs in the short, medium and long-term perspectives. Our policies and programs are intended to be efficient and pragmatic, and are also flexible enough to accommodate realities, as the future unfolds. We want our students to excel in quality and performance and are therefore selective in accepting students. We will continue to apply our principles of honesty, integrity, and quality of teaching and education. As a student at VUB, you become a part of a fully supportive but challenging learning environment designed to guarantee academic success and foster the personal confidence necessary to secure a good job or pursue graduate study.
