University of South Asia or UNISA is a private university in the Amin Bazar, Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
University of South Asia, affectionately known as UNISA, emerged on the educational scene in Dhaka, Bangladesh, in 2003. Initially residing in the bustling Banani neighborhood, it established itself as a haven for students seeking diverse fields of study. Its curriculum, meticulously crafted, received the essential nod of approval from the University Grants Commission, paving the way for its academic journey.
Though relatively young compared to some institutions, UNISA has already witnessed its share of milestones. In 2010, a wave of student activism against value-added tax on tuition swept through the university, even causing a temporary campus relocation. These events cemented UNISA's place in the fabric of Dhaka's academic landscape, highlighting its role not just as an educational hub but also a platform for student voices.
UNISA stands tall in its Amin Bazar, Savar, campus, proudly offering undergraduate and graduate programs in realms as varied as business administration, computer science, public health, and environmental science. With a commitment to academic excellence and a vibrant student community, UNISA continues to write its story, one chapter at a time, aiming to shape future generations of Bangladesh's workforce and intellectuals.
