We are proud to announce that Capt Zakirul Bhuiyan (23) awarded Senior Fellowship from United Kingdom Higher Education  (University).

 
Dear All,
Assalamualikum. 
 
Alhamdulillah, I am delighted to inform you that today the United Kingdom Higher Education  (University) Authority has awarded me the Senior Fellowship on the basis of fulfilling all the dimensions of the UK University Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF), It is a rare opportunity to achieve this award being a Maritime Senior Lecturer outside the main stream traditional higher education and teaching professional activities. The HEA also commended for my use of maritime research activities, scholarship and CPD, which evidenced the deep understanding of the wider context in which the maritime learning is based.   
 
Please keep me in your prayers.
 
Best regards,
Zakir 23(N)
