Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) stands as the nation's leading institution for agricultural education, research, and innovation. Since its founding in 1961, BAU has been dedicated to advancing the frontiers of agricultural sciences and nurturing skilled professionals in the fields of agriculture, fisheries, livestock, and food production—sectors vital to the sustainable development of Bangladesh and beyond.
Strategically located at the heart of the country’s agricultural landscape, BAU's sprawling 1,200-acre campus sits along the picturesque banks of the old Brahmaputra River. The university comprises six dynamic faculties and 44 academic departments, supported by two prominent national research institutes: the Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA) and the Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute (BFRI).
Through its integrated approach to education, research, and innovation, BAU continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of agriculture in Bangladesh.
