Bangladesh University

Bangladesh University is a private university in Mohammadpur, Dhaka, established in 2001 under the Private University Act 1992. Its single campus serves three faculties. The Ulkaa Edu Rank 2027 places Bangladesh University in the 51-75 band. The position is computed from the published methodology. UGC figures record 4,088 students (2023) and 151 teachers, 17 of them with a PhD (2023).

The Ulkaa Edu Rank draws on indicators such as first-year intake, research output and citations per work, the share of teachers with a PhD, students per teacher and recognition in QS and THE tables. Each indicator has a published weight and a stated data year, so a band is a summary of public data and not a verdict on any one programme.

Quazi Azhar Ali founded the university and served as its first vice-chancellor from 2001 to 2009. Like other private universities, its Chancellor is the President of Bangladesh.

Bangladesh University admits students at the undergraduate level for the programmes listed on its official website (http://www.bu.edu.bd). UGC data records 1,318 new admissions in 2023. Entry requirements, test dates, seat numbers and deadlines change every session, so confirm them with the admissions office or the official notice before you apply. Applicants generally need an HSC or equivalent result. Before you apply, compare the programme you want against the current UGC and accreditation information, ask the department about class schedules and lab access, and visit the campus if you can. Tuition and other costs are not covered on this page, so ask the admissions office for the current fee schedule.

The three faculties are Business Administration and Economics, Science, Engineering and Technology (CSE, architecture, EEE, mathematics, pharmacy), and Arts, Social Science and Law (English, law, sociology). Most programmes run three semesters a year, while engineering programmes run two. Ulkaa counts two programmes for 2027, both with accreditation data in 2026.

OpenAlex data records 389 works in the five years to 2025 and an h-index of 40 in 2026 for Bangladesh University. These are bibliometric counts and say little about any single department, so read them as a rough indicator of publishing activity.

The single campus is at 5/B Beribandh Main Road, Adabar, Mohammadpur. Wikipedia counts roughly 160 academic and 110 administrative staff.
