Bangladesh University of Professionals (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ ইউনিভার্সিটি অব প্রফেশনালস্), abbreviated as BUP, is a public university located in Mirpur Cantonment in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Established in 2008, it is operated by the Bangladesh Armed Forces for the higher education of military personnel and self-financed civilians. It affiliates higher educational institutions owned or operated by the military itself.
BUP was founded as the 31st public university of Bangladesh under the Bangladesh University of Professionals Act, 2009. It provides undergraduate and graduate programs across 22 departments in 6 faculties, including arts, social science, security studies, strategic studies, science and technology, business studies, and medical studies.
Before the establishment of the Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP), the educational institutions of the Bangladesh Armed Forces—about 56 in total—were affiliated with various public universities across the country.
The main purpose for the establishment of BUP was to unify all the educational institutions of the Bangladesh Armed Forces under one university administered by the armed forces. Following the purpose, on 5 June 2008, Bangladesh University of Professionals started its journey with the motto "Excellence through knowledge" in Mirpur Cantonment, Dhaka. Later, the Bangladesh University of Professionals Act, 2009 (Act No. 30 of 2009) was promulgated.
Although BUP is a military-administered institution, it is also a public university. So, anyone can gain admission to the university following the admission test. Currently, almost all the educational institutions of the Bangladesh Armed Forces are affiliated with BUP.
The university structure consists of the following bodies:
Vice Chancellor
The current vice chancellor of BUP is Major General Md Mahbub-ul Alam.
