Universal College Bangladesh (UCBD), the exclusive partner of Monash College, Australia in Bangladesh, successfully concluded the orientation program for the Monash University Foundation Year (MUFY) program.
This has been the second batch of 2025, following the successful orientation of the first intake held in January 2025. The Monash Foundation Year is a comprehensive program that guarantees students a place to study for their degree at Monash University
Australia or Monash Malaysia.
The orientation session kicked off with opening remarks from Professor Muhammad Ismail Hossain, Dean of Academic Affairs at UCBD, who is himself a Monash alumnus.
Following this, Professor Hew Gill, President & Provost at UCBD, addressed the incoming cohort and their parents:
“UCBD MUFY results in Dhaka are the best in the world, even better than Monash results in Australia. MUFY offers a guaranteed pathway to a world top 40 university for every student who passes, and all our UCBD students pass. This is why our enrolments are growing and why more local students are coming forward to pursue their dreams of world-class education, here in Bangladesh,” he said.
Speaking about the program, Azra Karim, Country Representative in Bangladesh, International Student Recruitment (ISR), Admission and Communication, Monash University, said, “As you sign up for the Foundation Year program, you become a part of the Monash global community from day one. It is an excellent opportunity to start your journey right here in Bangladesh with full academic support.”
Ambreen Zaman, Sr. Lecturer & MUFY Program Coordinator, gave the students and parents a program overview session in which she thoroughly explained the cutting-edge
curriculum and the model of continuous assessment that Monash uses instead of high stakes final exams. Other members of the academic faculty and support team explained important aspects of the MUFY program, and introduced the students to the
online systems and resources that are used to support teaching and learning.
Prof Hew and Samia Salam, Parent Engagement Executive, conducted a special briefing session for parents about how they can support their children to study, and the many international degree choices for UCBD students after MUFY.
UCBD is the exclusive partner of Monash College, Australia, and is the 1st Ministry of Education-approved international education provider in Bangladesh. Students can jumpstart their journey to a degree at Monash University, University of London – London
School of Economics, University of Lancashire and other global universities immediately after their O/AS/A/HSC levels by joining international programs right here in Bangladesh at UCBD.
The UCBD Gulshan campus offers students the opportunity to complete full international degrees, but pay locally competitive fees.
