BDU

Nestled in the beautiful town of Bahir Dar at the shore of Lake Tana and the Blue Nile River, Bahir Dar University (BDU) is established by merging two former higher education institutions; namely the Bahir Dar polytechnic and Bahir Dar Teachers’ College which had been established in 1963 and 1972 respectively. Those two HEIs were merged to form Bahir Dar University in 2000 G.C. BDU is now among the largest universities in the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia with a student population of over 40 thousand in its 340 programs.
