Welcome to the Department of Sociology , Green University of Bangladesh.  This Department has a long journey since 2011 with incredible successes and new potentials regarding quality of learning and career development. Now, this department has IQAC accreditation for its undergraduate program obtaining “Very Good” complement from External Peer Review Team (EPRT), IQAC. This accomplishment has opened new opportunities for students of this department regarding intellectual excellence and their career.

The mission of the department is to prepare the students with scientific understandings of social life, strong sociological imaginations and critical thinking through teaching, scholarship, and service for facing the challenges of the 21st century and also to equip them to be skilled professionals and socially engaged citizens. We maintain an inclusive and technologically supported learning environment in the class room. Faculty members, staffs, and students are respected and their contributions are fairly recognized.

Why will you choose Department of Sociology at GUB?

As a chairperson of this department, I can ensure you that our department involves close interactions between students and faculty members. In order to share knowledge and disseminate information, we are in the process of building partnership with the renowned home and overseas universities and organizations. The practice of enhancing knowledge and excellence, by the department, is prompted through conferences, seminars, workshops, field trips and study tours.

A highly qualified team of six faculty members including one (1) Professor, three (3) Assistant Professors and two (2) Lecturers whole heartedly strives for the development of the department to accomplish its vision, mission and goals in a realistic manner. Our faculties are highly research-oriented and strive towards knowledge creation. Our students take the benefits of this situation spontaneously by getting involved in research oriented works at the undergraduate level and even after.

Sociology, as a career,  has many options of creativity in the field of research institutes, the criminal justice system, public health and welfare organizations, private businesses, law firms, international agencies, medical centers, educational institutions, advertising firms, survey and polling organizations and of course public services. Practicing sociological knowledge with advanced skills creates research analysts, survey researchers, statisticians, urban planners, community developers, criminologists, or demographers and so on.

Finally, student life at the Department of Sociology is colored by Social Bonding Club. The Green University Social Bonding Club (GUSBC) of the Department of Sociology offers the opportunity to enrich your experience and enhance excellence. The GUSBC Club provides a forum for discussions, workshops and other activities related to society and culture. There are many ways, for students, of co-curricular activities. Moreover, there are 18 clubs at the university to fulfill student’s enthusiastic dreams whether it is in the form of technology, sports, music, debate, drama or photography and many others. These clubs open opportunities in creating students competent for overcoming challenge and for developing their leadership qualities.

I warmly welcome young generations to join with us.

Let’s be enthusiastic, creative and innovative together.
