Asian University for Women (AUW)

Asian University for Women is the first of its kind: an independent, regional institution dedicated to excellence, women’s education and leadership development – global in outlook, but rooted in the contexts and aspirations of the people of Asia.

Located in Chittagong, Bangladesh, AUW exists solely to educate and empower a rising network of women leaders through the transformative power of American-style liberal arts and sciences education. Open to women from all walks of life, AUW particularly encourages women who are the first in their family to get university education.
