In the Academy's own words.

Principal, Dr Rabia Bhuiyan · Adapted from the current site

Bhuiyan Academy is a private institution of higher education offering distance learning programmes. Our programmes for external degrees run closely with the awarding universities and colleges, and attract students from all over Bangladesh.

Since 1989 the Academy has been committed to producing competent professionals who are academically prepared for the challenges of today's society. Teachers and students work together, and that has led to impressive examination results. Our teaching staff are specialists in their own fields and encourage students to take part and ask questions in class. By keeping students' needs first, students and the Academy benefit together.

Faculty of Law · Adapted from the current site

The Faculty of Law began in 1989, founded by the late Barrister A.K.M. Mozammel Hoque Bhuiyan. The Academy was the first institution in Bangladesh permitted to conduct the University of London Diploma in Law, and it opened a route to foreign legal education and to becoming a Barrister-at-Law for a great many Bangladeshi students.

Our faculty is full-time and part-time teachers who engage in research, seminars and article writing. The moot court builds advocacy skills, and the Pupillage Advisory Service gives advice on CVs, chambers and mock interviews.
