The faculty office is located on the first and second floors of the Arts Building.
• Social Science Faculty : The Faculty of Social Sciences is one of the oldest, largest, and most diverse academic units at the University of Dhaka. Since its foundation on 2 October 1970, the Faculty has expanded in size and importance to include a wide range of academic disciplines that study human culture, society and politics, and that are theoretically based and empirically well-founded. The Faculty has set its goal to impart interdisciplinary knowledge, skills, and values to students in order to contribute to their academic and professional development. The Faculty of social sciences is organized into 16 academic Departments which are responsible for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and research The Departments which constitute the Faculty are Department of Economics, Department of Political Science, Department of International Relations, Department of Sociology, Department of Mass Communication and Journalism, Department of Public Administration, Department of Anthropology, Department of Population Sciences, Department of Peace and Conflict Studies, Department of Women and, Gender Studies, Department of Development Studies, Department of Television, Film and Photography, Department of Criminology, Department of Communication Disorders Department of Printing and Publication Studies, and Department of Japanese Studies.
• Law Faculty : Welcome to the Faculty of Law, the University of Dhaka. Thank you for your interest in the Faculty. The prospectus provides a general overview of the Faculty and its Department. The Faculty of Law, University of Dhaka is home for those law students who desire and deserve to make a change in the intellectual and practical premises of the law. Traditionally, the best students among those who qualify for admission to the University of Dhaka under B-unit (Arts Faculty) and D-unit (combines Science, Humanities and Business Studies groups) opt to study law. So, it can be legitimately claimed that the Faculty accommodates a group of very bright students of the country. At present, we have 43 full-time academics, of whom 24 are PhD holders, having excellent academic records, expertise and experience in different aspects and areas of laws. The Faculty has 20 professors all of whom received their degrees from world-renowned law schools. 
• Earth and Environmental Faculty: Humankind has always been curious about our environment, but there is a new urgency to our faculty’s mission to understand the planet Earth and Environment and to convey that understanding to our students. Only a few decades ago, Earth and Environmental Science was the study of natural phenomena, but now humans are altering the Earth’s climate, its landforms, and its biota. Floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, hurricanes, and other natural hazards have always been with us, but they are more destructive on our increasingly crowded planet because of our own activities. It is an exciting time to study the Earth and Environmental Sciences, because of its importance to humanity as well as its intellectual stimulation. Evolving technologies let us see the Earth as never before, from satellite observations on the planetary scale to that of particulates a few millionths of a meter in length. All of this is generating new knowledge at an unprecedented rate. Our modes of working range from observational studies much like those of the naturalists and explorers of an earlier era to complex computer modelling and sophisticated laboratory techniques. 
• Biology Faculty: The faculty of Biological Sciences was established in 1974. At its inception, the faculty consisted of the Departments of Soil Science (Presently Soil, Water and Environment), Botany, Zoology, Biochemistry (presently Biochemistry and Molecular Biology), Psychology and Pharmacy. Later on Four other new departments namely, Department of Microbiology (1979), Department of Clinical Psychology (1997), Department of Aquaculture and Fisheries (1997) (presently Department of Fisheries) and Department of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (2000) have become members of the faculty. In the meantime, Pharmacy has also become a separate Faculty. The Departments of the faculty offer a four year Bachelor of Science, B.S. (Honours); a one year Master of Science (M.S.) and also M.Phil and PhD.Programmes. Since its inception, the Departments belonging to this faculty have been conducting research on various fields of national interest, which have already earned recognition and fame both nationally and internationally. In their research endeavour, the Departments have established MOU with national and overseas universities and research institutions. There are two higher research centres at this Faculty, namely, Biotechnology Research Centre and the Centre for Advanced Research in Biological Sciences. Research grants are available in these Centres for the teachers of the Faculty to support small-scale research.
• Social Welfare and Research Institute: Social Welfare: Recent Look/Understanding The social welfare concept took a new direction in the nineteenth century, through certain processes and not by an accident. This was an era of social and technological change with intellectual adventure. The traditional concept of social work, a charity with immediate assistance did not stand in the test of the changing time. It melted away before the challenge of emerging psycho-social and economic problems hatched by speedy growth of population, rapid industrialization and urbanization gave way to the modern concept, where belief in the dignity and potentiality of human, respect for his/her personality came in the fore. And ultimately the “Lady Bountiful” was replaced by the professional social worker to give solace and relief to the suffering humanity. With the ever-increasing socio-economic problems, coupled with the wide acceptance of the concept of the welfare state, the scope of social welfare as a profession has widened and got momentum. Moreover, as the history attests, substantial progress made by this profession in the shortest possible time, in the developed as well as the developing countries, has given it a firm footing and an assurance of smooth go-ahead.
• Health Economics Institute: Since the early 1990s, the Health Sector of Bangladesh has been undertaking huge interventions so as to rapidly improve the health status of the population. Accordingly, in the fourth and fifth health sector programmes, the targeted coverage of the sector has been substantially expanded. The magnitude of health services to be devoted per person has been increased, and the measures have been proposed to drastically enhance the quality of services. Implementation of the plan requires a huge amount of resources, but the relative availability of resources has been declining. Given the growing scarcity of resources for the Sector, the only way to increase the coverage and improve the quality of services is to intensively utilize the existing facilities and allocate resources to the sectoral activities more efficiently. Increased allocative efficiency of resources requires, on the other hand, imparting regular training in health economics to the managers and professionals of the sector and others carrying out research on health economic issues. The Government has increasingly felt the need for training of the personnel of the sector and conducting research in health economics and started sending officials abroad to study health economics. It later became evident that the cost of overseas training of each person is so high that the government will not be able to train the required number of personnel using the small amount of fund received from the donors.
• Education and Research Institute: The Institute of Education and Research (IER), University of Dhaka, was established through the joint efforts of the University of Dhaka, the then Government of Pakistan and the U.S. AID ( then ICA) Mission. The U.S. AID Mission in the then Pakistan entered into a contract with the Colorado State College, (later became the University of Northern Colorado), Greeley, Colorado, U.S.A., for professional services to establish, organize and direct the initial stages of IER, including advanced overseas training of teachers. The contract came into effect on November 1, 1959. The classes of the Institute began on July 1, 1960, with 33 students of one year M.Ed. degree program. Over the year it has expanded and diversified its programmes. The number of students increased from 33 in 1960 to 700 (the academic year 2002- 2003). The Institute of Education and Research, University of Dhaka is an apex institute in the field of professional education in Bangladesh. It is the only Institute of its kind under the public universities of Bangladesh which offers teaching programmes leading to higher professional degrees, conducts advanced research studies and provides extension services in education. Its professional staff, most of them having overseas post-graduation and doctoral degrees and long experiences with specialization in various aspects of education render professional services to Government-sponsored committees and commissions on education to help develop the education sector of Bangladesh and provide consultancy services at both national and international levels.
• Institute of Disaster Management and Vulnerable Studies: Welcome to the Institute of Disaster Management and Vulnerability Studies Dhaka University (IDMVS).
