History of the Department

  • Home
  • History

Established in the year 1949 (April 23) the Department of Geology at the University of Dhaka started its graduate programme (BSc Pass) with the prime aim of disseminating geoscience education and technology and thereby providing trained geoscientists to be engaged in the profession of geological mapping, surveying, exploration, extraction/ production and management of country’s natural/mineral resources. The application of this knowledge thus contributes its share in the national development. To fulfil the increasing demand of professional geoscientists, curricula leading to MSc and BSc honours degrees were introduced in 1957 and 1967 respectively. Until now the Department remains the largest academia in the country that offers state-of-the-art geoscience education.
