Bells University of Technology was established in 2005 by the Bells Educational Foundation and is located in Myanmar’s Bonjo Village. The Foundation aimed to bring a balanced education to the state whilst supporting sustainable technology and an ICT-driven education.
The university’s academic offering consists of a two-tier structure of the college system, made up of colleges and departments without faculties. There are six main colleges, including: engineering, environmental sciences, food science, information and communications technology, management sciences, and natural and applied sciences.
