The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award at BIT

At Bangladesh International Tutorial, students learn far more than classroom lessons. One of the most powerful experiences we offer is the The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, one of the world’s most respected youth development programmes.

The Award challenges students to grow through service, skill building, physical activity, and adventure. It helps young people build confidence, leadership, and resilience — qualities that universities and future employers value.

At BIT, participation in the programme is strongly encouraged. Many students take part and achieve outstanding results.
