National University | NU.EDU.BD - Masters Final Result 2010
Click Here For Results Bangladesh National University (Bengali: জাতীয় বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়, বাংলাদেশ ) is a parent university of Bangladesh which was established to affiliate all the colleges nationwide. It is the 5th largest university in the world according to enrollment. The headquarters is located at Gazipur, on the outskirts of Dhaka21 years ago the National University was established by an Act of Parliament as an affiliating University of the country to impart graduate and post-graduate level education to the students through its affiliated colleges and professional institutions throughout the country. For that matter the University has been playing the most significant role in providing opportunities for higher education among the students coming from rural and semi-rural background at an affordable means since its inception. It is almost an impossible task to run the affairs of the University effectively concerning its currently 2000 affiliated colleges and institutions from a single Headquarters by following a traditional method. Hence, apart from decentralization to Regional Centres, the present administration of the University has taken a number of measures to turn it into a digitized University based on wholesale networking. This will definitely help us overcome the colossal session jam from which the students are currently suffering. Further the administration has undertaken necessary steps to transform the Gazipur campus into a Centre of Excellence with a focus on higher research and learning at the post-graduate level leading to M. Phil and Ph.D. degrees at the Gazipur campus leaving the matter of imparting classroom education to the affiliated colleges and institutions. In this era of globalization we can not afford to produce average graduates but those of higher quality who can only compete globally. In this endeavour and the fulfillment of our vision, I seek co-operation from all quarters.
The university is a postgraduate teaching and research university as well as an affiliating university. It is a state-run public university. It has already a school and a centre and has established a number of institutes. The institutes provide courses of higher level leading to M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees.
The Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences (IHS) was opened in 1997 to offer two-year M.Phil. following modern American credit hour and semester system including course work, two-month internship and thesis guided by supervisor. The M.Phil. is an interdisciplinary degree which is intensive enough to help the students to pursue Ph.D. courses. The course is open to faculty members who are employed at universities and colleges. Four more institutes — the Institute of Liberation and Bangladesh Studies (ILBS), Institutes of National Science (INS), Institute of Life Sciences (ILS), and Institute of Business and Management Studies (IBMS) — have all the formalities complete toward their constitutions and are soon to provide higher courses related to science, needs of life, and national heritage.
Very few of the teachers teaching at honors and masters level have higher training. The training programme of the university is designed to augment the knowledge of the college teachers, enhance their skill in teaching and get them an exposure to higher ideas. Eminent educationists and scholars of the country are associated with the academic programmes provided on campus.
The university has four academic units: School of Under Graduate Studies, Centre for Post Graduate Education, Training & Research, Centre for Curriculum Development and Evaluation, and Institute of Post-Graduate Studies.
The school and centers organize education in colleges and improve the standard. The university provides bachelors, honors and masters degrees in ten disciplines: languages, humanities, social science, commerce and business administration, physical sciences, mathematical sciences, biological science, education, law and computer technology.
Apart from the units providing campus teaching at Board Bazar, Gazipur, the university has about 1,688 component/affiliated colleges. These colleges under its academic control cater for courses leading to Pass, Honours and Masters degrees. The university exercises academic control over the colleges according to the National University Act 1992 mandated by the National Parliament of Bangladesh and the statutes of the university. It provides the curricula and syllabi, arranges admission test, gives guidelines for admission, arranges inspection, holds examination, publishes results and awards certificates.
The curricula and syllabi of the colleges are being standardized and modernized in consonance with national ideology. The new syllabuses came into effect from the last academic session.
The National University of Bangladesh is now one of the largest universities in the world after its 17-year history — by its number of registered students at affiliated colleges, number of affiliated colleges and number of expanding subjects and courses.
