Stamford University Bangladesh[4] (Bengali: স্টামফোর্ড ইউনিভার্সিটি বাংলাদেশ) is a private university in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It was established in 2002 under the Private University Act.[5] Before starting as a university, its predecessor institution was known as a Stamford College Group established in 1994,[6] later it was upgraded to a university in 2002 and appeared as Stamford University Bangladesh. Stamford University is the first ISO certified university in Bangladesh.[7] Stamford University Bangladesh is fully approved by University Grants Commission.[8] The university was recently asked by the commission along with 3 other private universities to stop enrolling new students for failing to fulfill UGC's condition to shift to a permanent campus.
