The Department of English at BUBT is an abode of inspiration, motivation and encouragement. It treasures talent, creativity and innovation, and searches for artistry and novelty. It inspires fluency, spontaneity, creativity and expressiveness. I firmly believe that this department is unique in many ways. We nourish an environment of education and accomplishment; the students do not just understand and memorize lessons related to the course contents, but also acquire inclusive and complete knowledge of the chosen field of study.

We pledge to develop a student as a better human being with knowledge, skill, an enlightened mind and a widened heart. With such an aspiration, the teachers of the English department try to explore the hidden capabilities of students. This department proudly takes the responsibility of grooming the students of other departments of BUBT to make them acquire proficiency in using English in the academic sphere as well as everyday life.

In this present day world, English is not a mere language, it is the medium of communication in the global arena. Therefore, the students are being acquainted with various uses of English, its treasure in the field of literature and the techniques of teaching and acquisition of the language. They are introduced to the literature of the world, especially in written English.  They are provided with theoretical competence and training in practical skills in English Language Teaching. Moreover, they are made familiar with the methodologies of literary and ELT research. We, the teachers of English department, put our best efforts and dedication towards ensuring proper education and guidance for our students.

Our department is proud to offer programs that include the most up-to-date and essential courses. The Department of English offers a BA (Hons) in English program at the undergraduate level. This program includes courses in literature ranging from the 15 th century to the 20 th century and English Language Teaching (ELT). Moreover, courses are there to enhance proficiency in English, computer operation and fundamental knowledge of World History and Civilization, European History, Philosophy, Sociology, Bengali Language and Literature, etc. MA in ELT program is designed to specialize in English Language Teaching. The MA in Literature program will enlighten the students of current literary texts and theories.

Since we consider our students as our responsibility, we remain in touch with the students’ guardians and share observations and experiences with them so that the guardians can get the opportunity to look after them properly at home.
