Nasir Ahmad
As the Chairperson, I am both honoured and privileged to lead such an outstanding scholarly Law Department of the country. As a first Law Department among the private universities, we have educated successive generations of outstanding lawyers, judges and leaders from public and private sectors. Our alumni are more than a network, though, it is truly a family. So, on a personal note, I am immensely grateful for the ongoing generosity of our alumni and friends, parents, students, faculty and staff who share our vision for excellence. All levels of support are welcome and appreciated, and make possible student scholarships, our ability to attract and retain exemplary faculty, and the myriad innovative programs that make DIU a leader in legal education in Bangladesh. Our graduate outcomes testify to the high quality of our students and their legal education, and confirm that we continue to be one of the top places to study law.
