The Asian University for Women (AUW) was founded on the belief that education for women provides a critical pathway to leadership development, economic progress and social and political equality in societies. Located in Chittagong, Bangladesh, AUW provides a world-class education to young women from diverse cultural, religious, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds from across South East Asia as well as the Middle East. AUW is a residential campus and students are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities, including participating in different clubs, organising cultural events and competing in sports events. The current undergraduate programme follows a four-year liberal arts curriculum structured in two parts.
