Establishment of a university for the armed forces educational and training institutes was a

long felt need. National security, war strategy, medical, engineering and technology related to
higher studies are in high demand at present. To keep pace and to be at par with the fast
developing world, the national higher studies, research enabling modern knowledge and
creating scope for education and studies are the obligations to be fulfilled. In order to expand
and integrate the existing educational and training institutes of the armed forces, they were
needed to be brought under a single umbrella or authority. Thereby, the establishment of
"Bangladesh University of Professionals," (BUP) took place in that process and came in to
being as 29th public university of Bangladesh on 05 June 2008. BUP is a unique public
university run by the armed forces with upholding the motto "EXCELLENCE THROUGH
KNOWLEDGE". The youngest university is confident in furthering the knowledge in the
field of national security, technology and modern science to achieve the desired human
resources development of the country.[ CITATION Ban19 \l 1033 ]
