The Faculty of Business Studies (FBS) at Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP) is an institution committed to fostering academic excellence and preparing students for successful careers in the diverse fields of business. Established in 2009, the FBS initially offered curriculum for MBA & Executive MBA programs, demonstrating an immediate commitment to high-quality postgraduate business education.
In the following year, 2010, FBS expanded its academic offerings to include undergraduate studies, inaugurating its BBA (General) programme. This milestone marks the faculty's commitment to comprehensive business education, reaching students at various stages of their academic journey.
As we embarked on 2016, the FBS underwent a significant expansion with the introduction of four new departments, each dedicated to specialized areas of business study. These departments include the Department of Business Administration in Accounting & Information Systems, the Department of Business Administration in Marketing, the Department of Business Administration in Finance & Banking, and the Department of Business Administration in Management Studies. This expansion brought our total number of departments to five, broadening the academic horizons available for our students.
Our diverse academic offerings, now spanning five departments, provide students with comprehensive, versatile business education opportunities. We are committed to the continual enhancement of our curriculum and academic resources to support our students in their pursuit of academic and professional success.
A fundamental part of our pedagogical approach is to foster strong industry-academia linkages. These connections help our students gain practical insights into the business world and expose them to real-world challenges, making them industry-ready upon graduation. Through seminars, guest lectures, internships, and industry visits, we bridge the gap between theory and practice, giving our students a competitive edge in the global business arena.
Admission to our BBA & MBA Programmes generally begins in October, providing a seamless transition for students planning to further their studies in business. For those interested in our MBA (Professional) Programme, we offer three admission periods throughout the year, commencing in January, May, and September. This flexibility caters to the diverse needs and schedules of our students, ensuring accessibility for all prospective candidates.
At the FBS, we are proud of our growth and achievements and look forward to continually enhancing our offerings to meet the changing demands of the business world. We invite all prospective students to explore the opportunities available at BUP's Faculty of Business Studies, where we turn academic aspirations into realities.
