History
Central Women's University (CWU) is the only Women's University in Dhaka which began its journey in 1993 immediately after the passing of the Private University Act of 1992. The university was established with a group of enlightened and enthusiastic personalities led by Professor Beggzadi Mahmuda Nasir (founder Vice Chancellor of the university).
Over three decades, CWU has steadily expanded its academic portfolio, faculty strength, and campus infrastructure to serve generations of women scholars.
