University of Science & Technology Chittagong (USTC) (Bengali: বিজ্ঞান ও প্রযুক্তি বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়, চট্টগ্রাম) is a first private university in Bangladesh. The university was established with the sponsorship of a private charity on May 13, 1989. Previously it was started as Institute of Applied Health Sciences (IAHS), later it was upgraded to USTC as a full phased university after the promulgation of the Private University Act, 1992. In January 2018 IAHS renamed as Dr Nurul Islam Memorial Institute of Applied Health Science.    USTC is being cultivated, grown, and developed as the academy, as the lab, and as the workshop for understanding and mastering the world Man is born to. We look equally at a particle of sand and a particle of gold, because all are unique and all have to be questioned, analyzed and understood.    We seek the light of the sun: free and worldwide and impersonal; we are not interested in the glow of unintelligent luxury. We are definite that wisdom and courage are the sources of wealth, and of invincible dignity. Freedom and activity that pulls forward are our principles. And therefore at heart we have realized that it is legitimate to ignore unintelligent rules to create new ones: the world is great, diverse, and evolving into unforeseen dimensions.
