General Information

Metropolitan University, Sylhet

The waves of globalization of knowledge, its expansion and dissemination have brought about a radical shift
in the concept of Universities. The idea of establishing a private university to provide quality education at an
affordable cost in Bangladesh especially Sylhet was initially mooted by a group of prominent academics,
business leaders, professionals and education enthusiasts led by Dr. Toufique Rahman Chowdhury and
professor M Habibur Rahman. A further shift is registered in dismantling the age-old notion that the State
alone is to shoulder the burden of tertiary education and accommodating the Private Universities to share
this national duty, of course, without making any compromise with academic excellence and other matrices
of University education. Metropolitan University joined this historic shift to bring about quality University
education at an affordable cost to the students at their doorsteps. Metropolitan University was established in
May 3, 2003 by an eminent social worker, Dr. Toufique Rahman Chowdhury with the approval of the
Ministry of Education under the Private University Act, 1992 (amended in 1998). Classes started on 3 May
2003 with -- faculty members and 17 students in the campus located at Al-Hamra, Zindabazar, Sylhet-3100,
Bangladesh. Today there are over 100 permanent faculty members now serving in various disciplines of the
university and approximately 3000 enrolled students. There are 4 schools and 6 departments under these
schools. The most promising characteristic of this university is free from politics (for both teachers and
students) and the university is promising in academic activities as a result all the programs are completed on
stipulated time period. So, then there is no session jam at any way in all academic activities. Many national
and international research projects and conferences are ongoing. Student accommodation facility is very
well. University ensures small class size to make close contact between students and teachers. There are
three female students’ hostels. Library and laboratory facilities are also available with books, modern
technologies and equipments.
This is a social commitment of Metropolitan University mainly to our nation for promoting better education
to meet the changing needs of the globe in the 21st century. The University will serve the citizens of the
