Whether they choose to become entrepreneurs or pursue corporate careers, business graduates play a vital role in driving the nation's economic growth and development. While many students aspire to join reputed institutions upon graduation, one challenge they often face is the lack of work experience — largely because part-time work opportunities for students remain limited in Bangladesh.
To address this, the Department of Business Administration at ISU has taken proactive measures to provide students with hands-on learning experiences. These include practical assignments, project-based coursework, and industry visits that bridge the gap between theory and real-world application. The department also connects students with ISU's parent company, Standard Group, one of Bangladesh's leading business conglomerates, as well as other renowned organisations to facilitate internships and part-time employment opportunities.
According to Dr. Muhammad Kamruzzaman, Chairperson of the Department of Business Administration, ISU was founded with the vision of developing skilled and qualified human resources to contribute to Bangladesh's sustainable development. The department's curriculum has been designed in line with international standards, moving beyond traditional academic models to emphasise innovation, analytical thinking, and practical relevance.
The recruitment of highly qualified faculty members, coupled with modern teaching methodologies, has strengthened the university's ability to provide world-class education. Additionally, ISU actively encourages research and academic engagement among both faculty and students. To support this, the university has signed MoUs with several reputed universities and institutions at home and abroad, fostering academic collaboration and research exchange. It also maintains strong relationships with leading domestic and international business organisations to expand opportunities for students and graduates.
As the university's parent organisation, Standard Group remains a valuable partner in providing internship placements and employment pathways for ISU's business students, ensuring they are well-prepared to enter the professional world with confidence and competence.
The physical and technological infrastructure of ISU further enhances its learning environment. The entire air-conditioned campus is monitored by CCTV to ensure safety, while smart classrooms are equipped with multimedia projectors and advanced sound systems. The university also boasts state-of-the-art language labs, full Wi-Fi coverage, and other modern facilities to support an interactive and technology-driven education.
The libraries—both digital and on-campus—are rich in resources, offering a wide range of textbooks, reference materials, journals, articles, and periodicals. There are also designated study areas for group discussions and collaborative learning. Together, these resources and facilities create a stimulating environment that supports both academic excellence and personal growth.
With its forward-thinking approach, international collaborations, and strong industry connections, ISU's Faculty of Business Studies is steadily shaping a new generation of business leaders equipped with the skills, ethics, and global mindset required to thrive in an ever-evolving world.
