I warmly welcome you to the Department of English at Dhaka International University. Established during the 1995-96 session in Dhanmondi, our department proudly flourishes as one of the founding pillars within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, now at the permanent campus of Badda. For nearly three decades, our corridors of Jigatola, Green Road (in the past) and Satarkul (at present) have been trying hard to maintain a world-class standard in order to equip its graduates with such knowledge and skill so as to meet the needs of a globalized world and its challenges.

The Department is proud of its history of offering the MA and BA in English programs. In order to achieve this goal, the department works relentlessly to improve its curriculum and stay up to date with the most recent advancements in all areas and tracks within the specialism, both qualitatively and analytically. In addition to its core courses of Language and Literature, the BA Honours program currently includes a wide range of Contemporary Genre, Applied Linguistics, Digital Literacy Skill, Job-Centered and General Education courses. Now, those who are smarter students—rather than only those with resources—have the opportunity to work on research subjects that interest them in both the Honours and Master’s programs. With a thousand students who are highly engaged in their academic work and extracurricular activities and twenty-five staff members who possess exceptional academic credentials, we are now adequately fortified.

Make the most of the links on this page if you are an undergraduate student visiting it. View faculty profiles to find out more about their backgrounds and discover how to get in touch with them. In order to fulfill its 10-year plan and beyond, our department is actively moving forward with its implementation. With materials conveniently housed within the university’s main library building, students don’t have to go far to access them. During the gaps between classes, this arrangement makes effective study sessions possible. Our department also has a strong commitment to environmental sustainability. Our campus is going greener, and we’re starting with the hallways and library. I personally invite you to witness these improvements.
