Uttara University’s School of Business (SoB) embraces this responsibility with dedication, offering some of the university’s largest and fastest-growing honours (BBA) and graduate (MBA) programmes since its inception in 2003.

Guided by the philosophy of Martin Luther King Jr.—“Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education”—SoB emphasises not only academic excellence but also ethical values and holistic personal development. The school fosters an educational culture that cultivates respect, critical thinking, and a spirit of collaboration among students.

At the heart of SoB’s mission is a faculty of international calibre. Over one-third of regular faculty members hold PhDs from prestigious institutions in North America, Europe, Japan, China, and Malaysia. Beyond teaching, they actively engage in mentoring, research, and industry collaboration, bringing global knowledge to enhance students’ intellectual capacity, entrepreneurial skills, and professional readiness.

SoB emphasises experiential learning, bridging theory and practice through industry visits, guest lectures, and structured internships. The school also publishes insights and research through its newsletter, School of Business: SYNERGY, providing a platform for knowledge-sharing and intellectual growth.

Recognising the challenges of an evolving job market, with youth unemployment at 13–14% in Bangladesh, SoB promotes a “lifelong learner” mindset. The curriculum incorporates AI literacy, soft skills development, ethical reasoning, collaboration, and reflective thinking, preparing students for a competitive and technology-driven economy.

The School of Business actively engages with an international advisory board and collaborates with overseas institutions, ensuring global perspectives and industry-relevant training. Plans are underway to launch a Continuing Education Centre, offering postgraduate diplomas and specialised certifications to further bridge education and market needs.

SoB remains committed to quality, equity, and accessibility. With affordable tuition, attractive scholarships, student support initiatives, and extra-curricular opportunities, the school aims to provide transformative education that empowers students to thrive in society.

Through this holistic approach, Uttara University’s School of Business continues to develop leaders equipped with both skill and character, ready to contribute meaningfully to Bangladesh and the wider world.
