History

Before the establishment of the Bangladesh University of Professionals, all the educational institutions of the Bangladesh Armed Forces (about 56 institutions) were spread and affiliated with different public universities all over Bangladesh. [2]

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. [3] [4] Later, the Bangladesh University of Professionals Act, 2009 (Act No. 30 of 2009) was declared. [2]

Although, BUP is a military-administered institution, it is also a public university. So, anyone can study in the university following the admission test. Currently, almost all the institutions of the Bangladesh Armed Forces are affiliated with BUP. [2]
