What academic programs and faculties does HSTU offer?
Updated
HSTU (Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, hstu.ac.bd) lists both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, organised under academic faculties and departments. According to the university's own site navigation, the academic side spans agriculture, computer science and engineering, business studies, fisheries, veterinary and animal science, engineering, and social science and humanities. The same menu area also links to the academic calendar and exam results, so programme and schedule information sit together.
Faculties and departments named on the site
The site's academic menu groups its notices and pages under these subject areas:
| Subject area | Level indicated on site |
|---|---|
| Agriculture | Undergraduate and Postgraduate |
| Computer Science and Engineering | Undergraduate and Postgraduate |
| Business Studies | Undergraduate and Postgraduate |
| Fisheries | Undergraduate and Postgraduate |
| Veterinary and Animal Science | Undergraduate and Postgraduate |
| Engineering | Undergraduate and Postgraduate |
| Science | Undergraduate and Postgraduate |
| Social Science and Humanities | Undergraduate and Postgraduate |
The navigation presents "Faculties & Departments" as a single entry, with "Undergraduate Programme" and "Postgraduate Programme" listed separately. That means the site is structured so you can browse by faculty/department or by programme level — use the faculty route if you already know the subject, and the programme route if you are comparing levels.
Where to check admission and exam dates
Admission timing is announced through the notice board rather than a fixed catalogue page. The homepage notice area currently carries a dated announcement that the 2027 academic-year admission test will run from 24/01/2027 to 28/01/2027, alongside a separate MBA (Evening) admission result notice for September 2026. Because these are notice-board items, treat any date you see as tied to the specific notice and re-check the board before acting on it.
For results and scheduling, the academic menu links to Exam Result and Calendar, which is the practical route for confirming when exams fall and when results are published.
Research and support units
Beyond teaching departments, the site lists several research and quality units under its academic and research headings:
- Institute of Research and Training (IRT) — the main research and training body
- Institutional Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) — quality assurance
- Journal of Science and Technology (JST) — the university's journal
- Agricultural Research Complex (ARC) — agriculture-focused research
- Central Lab — shared laboratory facility
If your interest is postgraduate research or lab-based work, these are the units to look at alongside the department pages.
Practical next steps
- Open hstu.ac.bd and use the Faculties & Departments entry to find your subject and confirm which department offers it.
- Check Undergraduate Programme or Postgraduate Programme for the level you want.
- Use Calendar and Exam Result for scheduling and outcomes.
- Watch the Notice Board for admission announcements — dates appear there as dated notices, not as a permanent timetable.
One caveat: the site navigation confirms which subject areas and programme levels exist, but it does not, in the material available here, spell out individual degree names, credit structures, or entry requirements per department. For those specifics, go through the department page or the relevant admission notice rather than relying on the menu labels alone.
