Who We Are

Asian University for Women (AUW) is the first of its kind– a fully independent, regional institution dedicated to women’s education and leadership development.

AUW exists to educate and empower women leaders through the transformative power of liberal arts and sciences education.

What We Do

AUW is a residential learning community where incredible women from many backgrounds grow both intellectually and personally and become impactful, innovative, and service-oriented leaders. AUW recruits students from Asia and Middle East.

Why It Matters

“At a time when there is still so much strife in the world on the basis of our inherited identities, AUW shows that yet another world is possible where young women from different upbringings can come together – first in solidarity with each other, and second in supporting a wider vision of changing their communities together.”

Brick by Brick

A new chapter in the history of Asian University for Women is taking shape in the hills of Chittagong, Bangladesh.

After years of planning and construction, AUW’s permanent campus is becoming a reality. Our first building, the Campus Center, is scheduled for completion in December 2027, marking a major milestone in the University’s development.

To celebrate this progress and help bring the building to completion, we are delighted to launch Brick by Brick, a global fundraising campaign inviting AUW alumnae, students, friends and supporters everywhere to play a part in building our new home.
