The requirements of students are changing, and new digital ecosystems for learning and knowledge creation are forcing a thorough rethinking of the higher education sector. To make sure that the priorities and activities of today will set universities on a growth trajectory over the following ten years, universities must adopt a “future-back”, strategy. A tsunami of disruption is being caused by the escalating volatility brought on by demographic changes, geopolitical difficulties, shifting employment requirements, and high student expectations for a high-quality digital experience. So to say, those universities that are unable to adjust to the changing realities of the sector will risk going out of business.
Understanding today’s volatility, American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB) is dedicated to nurturing and producing skilled professionals imbued with a strong sense of ethical values ready to face the competitive world of arts, business, science, social science, and technology. AIUB is committed to providing quality and excellent computer based academic programmes responsive to the emerging challenges of the time.
Dr. Anwarul Abedin established the government approved private university AIUB in 1994. The university is a stand-alone entity with a separate Board of Trustees with a mission to inculcate expertise and outstanding leadership to individuals, who will in turn, serve the nation’s demands for technological advancement. It is committed to provide top-notch academic computer programmes that are sensitive to the most recent issues.
American International University-Bangladesh is dedicated to implementing the programmes, projects, and activities associated with the sustained delivery of a quality management operating system into practice. The university’s main goal has been to keep students at the centre, and as such, all of its attention is directed at meeting their fundamental requirements and ensuring their future professional success. The university has continually made every effort to coordinate its actions through collaboration, cooperation, and consultation with all university units and constituent parts.
To establish a centre of excellence, strict quality standards have been upheld. Today, AIUB is now considered to be among the top universities in Bangladesh. “Since our humble beginnings with only four rented classrooms and seven pupils, we have gone a long way. Over 10,000 students have already attend our school, and we continue to add new students each semester. Our capable faculty, who are further supported by a robust infrastructure in place, are the foundation of this success.
As a result, we have received a great deal of national and international recognition throughout the years in a variety of academic and administrative sectors,” says Dr. Hasanul A. Hasan, Chairman of AIUB.

AIUB was the first private university in Bangladesh to go virtual; thus spearheading the digital transformation in the higher education domain across the country. Today, AIUB continues to work towards achieving greater heights by staying abreast of the changing market dynamics while always keeping in mind the most fundamental principles of human dignity, equality of opportunity and academic freedom by involving students and faculty members at all times. AIUB also believes in driving a sustainable future, wherein, it is the first green campus of Bangladesh to safeguard the environment for future generations; thereby creating an ideal green environment for continued creativity, innovation and wellbeing.
