Realizing the importance of
higher education in the overall development of a nation,
Chittagong City Corporation conceived the idea of
establishing a center of excellence for higher education
and learning in Chittagong and initiated needs
assessment in 1998. Later on, a project proposal for Premier University was submitted to the Ministry
of Education of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh in
May 2001. The proposal was approved by the Government of
Bangladesh under the Private University Act, 1992
(amended in 1998), and the Bangladesh University Grants
Commission (UGC) approved the curricula of Premier
University. Thus this university
came into being on December 5, 2001 and launched its
academic programs in January,
2002.
