Background

Realizing the tremendous needs for modern management education in Afghanistan, a group of proficient academicians conceived the idea of establishing a new University in the private sector in year 2008 in Kabul. The idea was converted into a practical proposition in 2009 when the charter is granted by the Ministry of Higher Education, Government of Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. The University is located in a spacious campus at a central place in the Capital Kabul, namely Charah e Baraki and over a short span of time, Rana University has emerged into one of the most effective and rewarding seats of higher learning in the country. There are many factors attributed to the great success of this University, prominent among them is the dedicated support of faculty and staff, enthusiastic pursuance of studies by the students and guidance of the Ministry of Higher Education.  The University has progressed both horizontally and vertically in these years. From a few bachelors programs at the outset, it now consists of 4 major vibrant faculties and spread over two campuses. Currently, the total enrollment is more than 4300 while more than 2000 students have graduated so far... According to the statistics, 22% of our graduates go abroad for higher studies and jobs, which indicate that the education provided by Rana University is compatible with International standards. Not only this but Private institutions, Banks, NGOs and Government organizations are also hiring Rana graduates on regular basis. 

In addition, RANA University is an institution established in 2009 and registered with the Ministry of Higher Education of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. The establishment of RU is coinciding with the intense need of contribution to the rehabilitation and rebuilding process of Afghanistan in the higher and professional education sector. Afghanistan with the international community is on the road of development and the provision of sustainable solutions to the decades’ long problems that have left impacts on both the national and international reputation of Afghanistan as a nation as well as a country in this global era.
