The
academic programs of the University were crafted to develop a total
persona.
Students are provided with general and specialized knowledge,
development of
humane values and ethics, and yearning for lifelong learning. Moreover,
the
curricular programs provide for flexibility in terms of choice of
courses,
modularity of courses, multi-point entry and exit, horizontal and
vertical
mobility, interdisciplinary movement and a combination of classroom,
laboratory
work, technology invention and patenting.
All
curricula have four critical
foci:
1.
Market orientation: In
different modules and sets, all
courses are to meet the needs of students and guardians regarding
employability;
2
Accreditation: The credits
and certificates are
“pegged” to overseas qualifications and recognition. The current trend
of
credit transfer and joint degree is leading to a perception of
“academic
hostage” as was experienced in Malaysia and Singapore. The same
practice can be
seen here. The UITS proposes another approach, which is of seeking
overseas
recognition of the program and the course modules by adopting a
significant
part of overseas syllabi and course monitoring. The UITS constantly
collaborates with national and international institutions to adapt and
modify
its course structure and contents.
3
Multi-credential approach: Students
require “saleable
knowledge and skills, thus the University awards different levels of
certificates and diplomas with the same vertical degree protocol,
culminating
in four-year bachelor’s degree within the same cost and time. The
theoretical
structure of a four-year program is illustrated in Figure 1.
4
Recognition of previous learning and national talent:
In order to encourage national talent in IT entrepreneurship,
management and
human relation, there is provision to recognize prior learning as well
as
individual initiative in scholarship and practicum.
5
Industry/Commerce recognition: The UITS
fosters direct links and
inputs from trade and industry and their association into course
work/projects
and practices. The university also undertakes tailored courses for
industrial
and commercial manpower to fulfill its policy obligation. Some of these
courses
may be incorporated in the University’s graduate and post-graduate
programs.
Learning
Strategies
1.
Information
and Communication Technology-based programs. All subjects are taught
using
current ICT.
2.
Flexible
in terms of choice and modularity of courses, multi-point entry and
exit,
horizontal and vertical mobility, interdisciplinary movement.
3. Market-oriented.
Internship programs in actual work sites conducted in Bangladesh or
abroad.
4.
Quality
Education, recognized by overseas universities.
5.
Stair
cased. At the end of each year, a student may get a Certificate,
Diploma,
Advanced, Diploma or the Degree.
6.
Socio-culturally
oriented. Students are encouraged to participate in community
development and
welfare projects in the field of health, education, judiciary, traffic,
environment and other fields.
7. Previous
learning and experience recognized. Subjects or courses may be
validated based
on previous learning and experience.

Summer, of thirteen weeks each. Under this trimester system, a
one-credit unit
theory course meets 13 hours (60 minutes each for 13 weeks).

finished
in three years in a trimester system.
