The journey began in 1999 when the Department of Management first proposed MIS as a new academic stream. In 2004, the University of Dhaka formally approved the proposal, and on April 12, 2005, Professor Dr. Abdul Mannan Choudhury was appointed as the first Chairman. Since its establishment, the department has been a trailblazer in bringing technology-driven business education to Bangladesh.
The Department of Banking envisions becoming the premier center for banking, finance, insurance, and capital market education in Bangladesh, preparing professionals who can lead with innovation, integrity, and global competence. Its mission is to deliver quality education, training, and research that blend theory with practice, while providing evidence-based insights to government, regulators, and industry. By fostering ethical values, professional excellence, and adaptability to technological and financial innovations, the department is committed to shaping leaders who can drive sustainable growth in a rapidly evolving financial world.
The department’s academic offerings are designed to respond to the demands of the modern business world and reflect a paradigm shift in teaching and learning methods. These programs emphasize job-oriented, practical business education that equips graduates to excel in a competitive, globalized economy.
Graduates of the Department of International Business are now working in leading multinational corporations, international trade organizations, and global consulting firms. The alumni network actively contributes to the department by mentoring students, delivering industry talks, and creating opportunities for collaboration. Strong partnerships with businesses and organizations also ensure internship and career placements for current students.
Students benefit from modern classrooms, access to the Faculty of Business Studies Library, and the extensive resources of the Dhaka University Central Library. Digital resources and analytical tools further support research and practical learning in international business.
