DEPARTMENT OF
APPAREL
MANUFACTURING & TECHNOLOGY
Welcome!
After Bangladesh’s independence in 1971, rebuilding the war-torn nation with limited resources and an unskilled workforce was a major challenge. Over time, sectors like agriculture, tourism, foreign remittance, IT, and especially Ready-Made Garments (RMG) emerged as key contributors to economic growth. RMG now accounts for 83% of the country’s total export earnings and directly employs over 4 million people, with more than 10 million involved throughout its value chain. The global recognition of the “Made in Bangladesh” label has increased demand for skilled professionals in apparel, textile, and fashion industries—needs currently met in part by foreign hires.
To address this skills gap, BGMEA University of Fashion & Technology established the Department of Apparel Manufacturing & Technology, offering an undergraduate program that combines technical knowledge with business acumen. The curriculum emphasizes production planning, industrial engineering, ergonomic practices, and quality management. Strong industry linkages and factory visits enrich student learning, equipping graduates to effectively manage and innovate within the apparel sector.
Vision
To evolve into a globally integrated technical department contributing towards technical education, technical consultancy, research, leadership and corporate excellence.
Mission
M 1: The essence of the Department of Apparel Manufacturing & Technology is to constantly strive to provide an in-depth knowledge to its students so that they add value to the existing treasures of apparel manufacturing technology concepts.
M 2: Promote lateral thinking and a spirit of enquiry among its students so that they look from a different angle through a creative approach by which they are able to provide simple solutions to complex technical problems in apparel manufacturing and allied textile sectors.
M 3: To deliver through its teaching-learning process the richness of apparel manufacturing technology and multidisciplinary knowledge in a way where ethics and social commitments will be the cornerstone for its students.
