Bangladesh University of Health Sciences

Bangladesh University of Health Sciences (BUHS) is a private university at Darus Salam in Mirpur, Dhaka, established in 2012. The Diabetic Association of Bangladesh founded it, and Wikipedia describes it as the first health sciences university in the country. The Ulkaa Edu Rank 2027 places Bangladesh University of Health Sciences in the 51-75 band. The position is computed from the published methodology. UGC figures record 1,963 students (2023) and 94 teachers, 19 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.

Public health courses started in 2007 under affiliation with the University of Dhaka. BUHS became an independent degree-granting university in 2012, with its establishment date given as 6 December. Wikipedia lists support from the Rockefeller Foundation, the World Diabetes Foundation, the University of Oslo and the Dutch government. Its motto is "Discipline is life".

Bangladesh University of Health Sciences admits students at the undergraduate level for the programmes listed on its official website (http://www.buhs.ac.bd). UGC data records 715 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 curriculum centres on health sciences and public health. Wikipedia names affiliations with BIRDEM hospital, BSMMU and international university bodies. Check the official website for the current list of faculties, degrees and departments.

OpenAlex data records 550 works in the five years to 2025 and an h-index of 272 in 2026 for BUHS. These are bibliometric counts and say little about any single department, so read them as a rough indicator of publishing activity.

The urban campus covers about six acres at Darus Salam, Mirpur. The founding body is the Diabetic Association of Bangladesh.
