The government of Bangladesh approved the establishment of United International University in 2003.{{cite web |url=http://www.sai.uni-heidelberg.de/workgroups/bdlaw/1992-a34.htm |title=Private University Act, 1992 |date=9 August 1992 |publisher=Bangladesh Gazette Extraordinary |via=Südasien-Institut, Universität Heidelberg |access-date=2007-06-25}} United International University was established with the generous support and patronage of the United Group.{{Cite web|url=https://www.thedailystar.net/star-youth/news/learning-about-uiu-1636738|title=Learning about UIU|first=Al|last=Haq|date=21 September 2018|website=The Daily Star}}

In 2024, according to the QS World University Rankings, United International University (UIU) is ranked in 1201-1400 globally, making it the 3rd highest-ranking private university in Bangladesh, alongside Daffodil International University (DIU) and East West University (EWU).{{cite web |title=QS World University Rankings 2024 |url=https://www.topuniversities.com/world-university-rankings?region=Asia&countries=bd |access-date=2024-05-29 |website=QS World University Rankings| date=23 May 2024 }}

On 26 April 2025, United International University Vice Chancellor Prof Abul Kashem Mia and 11 departmental heads resigned amid ongoing student protests at the university’s Bhatara Madani Avenue campus.{{Cite web |last= |title=Vice chancellor, 11 others resign from United International University amid protest |url=https://bdnews24.com/campus/348900b11007 |access-date=2025-05-07 |website=Bdnews24.com |language=en}} The demonstrations were sparked by grievances over exam policies, including reduced test durations, unchanged improvement fees, and handling a student’s request for a make-up exam following a family bereavement. While the students cited administrative insensitivity and financial burdens, the university officials stated they resigned in protest against what they called “undue” and “unjust” demands. The Board of Trustees of United International University formed an independent fact-finding committee to investigate the incidents.{{Cite web |date=2025-04-29 |title=UIU forms independent committee to investigate recent campus incidents |url=https://www.tbsnews.net/economy/corporates/uiu-forms-independent-committee-investigate-recent-campus-incidents-1129596 |access-date=2025-05-07 |website=The Business Standard |language=en}} Chaired by Professor Md Mujibur Rahman, the committee is expected to submit a report within seven working days, based on a thorough and impartial review of evidence and testimonies.
