The Department of Music plays a vital role in the Faculty of Arts, University of Dhaka.
The Department of Music has been trying to make a special impact to the development of cultural activities and environment of University of Dhaka. This department has already occupied a special place in the cultural arena of Bangladesh. At present, the department is trying to establish its position and collaboration with industry by redecorating it’s curriculum, organizing research seminars, International music festival and international symposiums by notable academics from all over the world.
Currently, the Department of Music offers a four-year B.A. (Honors) course and a one-year Master’s course. It also provides M.Phil and Ph.D Programs. Our faculty consists of active performers, composers and researchers in the classical music, Tagore Songs, Nazrul Songs, Folk songs and Instrumental. In addition, students get chance to stimulate their vision in professional ground with the courses like communication studies, aesthetics, music production and sound technology, composition and western music theories.
Department of Music started its individual journey since 2009 as it was previously known Department of Theatre and Music. Our philosophy is to achieve eminence in academics, arts, and creative leaderships. We have our own audio archive and audio studio for the skill enhancement of our students.
My heartiest thanks to the dedication of our teachers, students, researchers, office staffs and the University authority for our collaborative journey towards eminence academia.
