THE FOUNDER OF IUBAT PROF DR M ALIMULLAH MIYAN
Born in Cumilla, Bangladesh, Dr M Alimullah Miyan is the pioneer of non-

government university in Bangladesh and is the Founder of the International
University of Business Agriculture and Technology (IUBAT) in Dhaka, the first non-
government university in Bangladesh established in 1991. After completing his
Honours and Masters degrees at Dhaka University, he received his MBA at Indiana
University, USA and his Doctorate at Manchester Business School, UK.
Dr Miyan’s distinguished and varied academic career included the positions of

Vice-Chancellor at IUBAT, Director and Professor at Dhaka University’s Institute
of Business Administration, and Founder Chairman of the Centre for Population
Management and Research (CPMR), also at Dhaka University. Dr Miyan served as
the President of IUBAT upon its founding in 1991 before moving into his role of
Vice-Chancellor in 1994.
Dr Miyan is the author of 46 academic articles and is author/co-author of 15 books on a wide range of topics related
to the promotion of business, sustainable development, education, development and disaster management in
Bangladesh, social safety (pension), climate change, family planning, industrial relations, energy policy and the

Foreword by the Vice-Chancellor
Welcome to IUBAT, the first non-government institution of its kind in Bangladesh.

Established in 1991, IUBAT is a government approved university, which has forged
a reputation of quality and commitment among education institutions at home
and abroad.
When IUBAT was originally established, it set out to create an institution of

higher learning which would focus on business administration, agriculture and
technology aspects that could effectively contribute to the agro-economic and
social development of Bangladesh. We believe that we have achieved this by
emphasizing investment in human resource development.
IUBAT has shown dedication and determination to making students hardworking

full-fledged citizens of a fast growing economy. In trying to achieve a career and status, it is all too easy for
students to forget the responsibilities that they have to each other and to society. In today’s world, it is vital
that students realize that the norms and values transcend the individual and the group. IUBAT encourages its
students to study objectively different branches of knowledge and then make choices themselves.
Academic standards of IUBAT are accepted worldwide, enjoying close links with many universities, institutions
and scholarly bodies from all over the world, giving students the opportunity to transfer to relevant programs
and higher education in other countries. We are also privileged to receive professors and academics from other
countries as visiting faculty as well as host students from the collaborating institutions.
At present, the permanent campus of the university on 6 acres of land area with scenic beauty on the bank of
river Turag provides a wide range of facilities for computer science, engineering, science, nursing, hospitality
and agriculture including labs, libraries, classrooms, full-time student counselors, cafeterias and playgrounds
all of which help give IUBAT An Environment Designed for Learning.
At IUBAT, we aim to make you self-confident and flexible so that you are enabled to realize your true potential.
We believe that by attaining your qualifications with us you will undoubtedly enhance prospects of employment
and opportunity to play a key role in a rapidly changing social and economic environment. We hope you will
choose to take your course with us and we look forward to seeing you in the future.
Professor Dr Abdur Rab

Vice-Chancellor

practical work experience in all professional degree In order to complete B.Sc in Civil Engineering from
programs. Besides the hands-on experience gained IUBAT, each student needs to complete 160.0
in laboratories and workshops, BSCE students are credit courses where 66.0 credit courses are of non-
required to work as interns in a real life suitable departmental and 94.0 credits are of departmental
organizations. This internship is of 6 credit hours courses. A summarized overview of each of the
and an integral component of BSCE program. courses (both non-dept. and dept. courses) are
given below:
