"Education is simply the soul of the society as it passes from one generation to another" – G.K. Chesterton.
Uttara University was established in 2003. The vision of the founder and first Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. M. Azizur Rahman was a student society that is highly efficient, disciplined, patriotic and above all successful in every sphere of life. The mission was to bring higher education to the reach of those who cannot afford it. With the slogan “Quality Education at affordable tuition", Uttara University began its journey by opening its doors to the underprivileged and financially constraint students. In its 21 years history, Uttara University has changed the lives of hundreds of students and made their dreams come true.
The University is located near Uttara North Metro Rail Station. Thus it is accessable from every area of Dhaka City. It also provides a free bus service for students both inside Dhaka City and its outskirts.
The campus of Uttara University has a very modern architecture. It offers world class facilities such as classrooms equipped with latest technology, digital library, study area, computer lab accessibility for all students, indoor games area, canteen, etc. Students studying here can have a “home away from home”, feeling while they stay in the campus.
