Bangladesh Maritime University is country's first public maritime university! 🇧🇩

Bangladesh Maritime University (BMU) came out as the first-ever maritime university of Bangladesh by an Act of the Parliament on 26 October 2013. The Hon'ble President of the People's Republic of Bangladesh is the Chancellor of the University. Right after the inception, the university started its journey towards excellence. MoU with a few reputed Maritime Universities of the world has already been

signed for necessary supports to maintain high standards in education system in this university. The university is also planning to include Oceanographic Research Vessel for training of students and research works by scientists to explore our sea area. With the landmark verdict on the delimitation of maritime boundary with India and Myanmar, Bangladesh has been endowed with a large sea area. As the resources on land are depleting, it has become imperative for the nation to look towards the sea for its survival. Effective exploration and exploitation of maritime resources are therefore paramount towards economic emancipation of the country in the 21st century. Besides, the onus of maintaining ‘good order at sea’ is becoming heavier with the passage of time. In order to attain these goals, the nation desperately needs right kind of human resources. BMU with its motto ‘We Strive for Maritime Excellence’ would provide necessary human resources for the nation, through the creation of effective, well qualified, and knowledgeable human resources in the coming days. Towards attaining its goals, the university is conducting both graduate and post-graduate courses on various maritime fields. The process to establishment of permanent campus is going on, where other specialized fields of study will be opened. Thus, it will endeavour to emerge as a center of excellence in maritime higher education within the shortest possible time.

Our Story

Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Maritime University, Bangladesh, the first Public Maritime University of the country was established by an Act of the Parliament on 26 October 2013. Upon enactment, the Honorable President and the Chancellor of the University had kindly appointed Rear Admiral A S M Abdul Baten, ndc, psc, as Vice Chancellor; and other two Bangladesh Navy officers as the Registrar and Treasurer of the University. Bangladesh Navy appointed few more officers to assist for the establishment of the University and few professional officers were recruited. On 30 January 2014, the Vice Chancellor along with Registrar and the Treasurer called on the Honorable President and the Chancellor to seek guidance as well as to apprise about the primary activities and work proposal. Meanwhile a Committee was formed by the University Grants Commission (UGC) headed by Professor Dr. Abul Hashem, Member UGC to ascertain the infrastructure, academic curriculum and the suitable site for the University. On 11 March 2014, the committee visited World Maritime University (WMU), Sweden and the Maritime faculty of Istanbul Technical University, Turkey. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was also signed between WMU and this University for providing due assistance for the academic curriculum. As being the specialized university, it would have dual role of running higher level courses for students as well as regulate the affiliated institutions like marine and fisheries academies and other maritime training institutions of the country. The university would conduct both graduate and post graduate courses on various maritime fields. At present the university is just at the formative stage. However, endeavors are on to open courses by next academic session at hired campus on subjects related to Port/Shipping Management, Logistics/Engineering Management. Upon having permanent campus graduate programs on specialized fields will be opened. Within short period the university will take its complete shape and be the center of excellence for higher maritime education.
