Metropolitan University or MU is a private university in Sylhet.
In the bustling heart of Sylhet, Bangladesh, Metropolitan University (MU) boasts a young, vibrant history. It all began in May 2003, when social worker Toufique Rahman Chowdhury, driven by a passion for accessible quality education, established MU with the government's approval. Starting with a modest intake of students, the university quickly carved its niche, offering affordable programs in diverse fields.
The early years saw MU navigate through temporary premises, yet its commitment to excellence shone through. Dedicated faculty, a growing student body, and a focus on practical learning paved the path for steady progress. In 2014, MU achieved a significant milestone - gaining membership in the prestigious Accreditation Service for International Schools, Colleges & Universities. This recognition solidified its reputation as a provider of internationally recognized education.
2015 marked another momentous occasion with the university's second convocation, celebrating the successes of its first graduating class. Two years later, the dream of a permanent campus became a reality. The sprawling new facility, equipped with modern infrastructure and state-of-the-art technology, further boosted MU's standing as a premier educational institution in the region.
Today, Metropolitan University stands tall, a testament to the vision of its founder and the tireless efforts of its faculty and staff. While still a young university, MU's journey has been impressive, marked by constant growth, innovative approaches, and a dedication to serving the educational needs of Sylhet and beyond. Its dynamic story continues to unfold, promising a bright future for generations of students seeking knowledge and success.
