GUSTO College: Transforming Education and Empowering the Region

Founded in 2006 by Dr. Win Htein Win, an accomplished scholar with a remarkable academic journey across Japan, the UK, New Zealand, and Israel—recognized globally for innovation—GUSTO College is a pioneer in higher education in Myanmar. Dr. Win’s international expertise and visionary leadership established a transformative institution dedicated to excellence and innovation.

GUSTO College was one of the first institutions to introduce internationally recognized degrees in Myanmar. Through partnerships with prestigious UK universities, including the University of Gloucestershire and Sunderland University, GUSTO revolutionized access to global education, enabling thousands of young students in Myanmar to pursue world-class academic programs. This initiative has significantly contributed to the nation’s economic development and the global workforce.

The university’s influence extends beyond Myanmar, fostering talent that drives progress and innovation across Southeast Asia.

Understanding that technical expertise alone is not enough in today’s dynamic global marketplace, GUSTO College integrates emotional intelligence training into its curriculum. Students develop critical competencies such as empathy, teamwork, resilience, and self-confidence, ensuring they are prepared to lead and adapt in complex environments.

GUSTO College’s outstanding contributions have earned prestigious recognition. In 2019, it received the BTEC College of the Year Award from Pearson (UK), acknowledging its excellence in delivering quality education. Additionally, GUSTO was awarded the EduTech Award by ASOCIO, an ICT organization representing 24 countries, including Australia, Korea, Thailand, Japan, and Singapore. These accolades affirm the university’s dedication to advancing education in digital technologies, IT, and modern business.
