Greetings from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Green University of Bangladesh.
A vibrant faculty comprising three departments—English, Sociology, and Journalism and Media Communication—
provides quality education of global standards. Each department offers a curriculum of international standard,
incorporating the latest developments in theory and practice within its respective field.
In the present context of a rapidly advancing technological world and evolving postcolonial realities,
the academic programs of the Faculty are designed to foster human development by shaping and nurturing
students' manners, morals, social behavior, sociocultural and ethical values, identity, and ideology,
while combining local perspectives with global insights.
Arts and Social Science education has become increasingly relevant in today's world, when, in the words of
W. B. Yeats, “Things fall apart; the Centre cannot hold / Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world”;
when success is often measured by commercial achievement and our capacity for “getting and spending”
(Wordsworth); when the world is ravaged by wars and torn by conflicts of all kinds—individual, class,
social, cultural, gender, and racial; when equity and justice are at their lowest ebb; when values,
ideologies, and social bonding seem to have become things of the past; and when technology has gained
unprecedented influence while humanity itself is increasingly at stake.
Arts and Social Science education is therefore more important than ever in addressing these growing
challenges and degenerations in societies around the world.
The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Green University of Bangladesh seeks to promote
social, ethical, and cultural values among its graduates that connect the local with the global, with
particular emphasis on local diversity and global connectedness.
We encourage our graduates not to be carried away by the glamour of the West or to accept everything
Western uncritically, but rather to critically evaluate ideas, practices, and values and adapt or adopt
them as appropriate for healthy sociocultural development.
We help students develop their identity and ideology through critical thinking, enabling them to
independently judge what is right or wrong and what is beneficial or harmful to society.
We encourage them to critically assess and accept or reject ideas and practices based on reason,
context, and social responsibility.
Our focus is on developing a bottom-up model of social development that addresses local
sociocultural needs and demands while drawing upon global insights and perspectives.
All three programs under the Faculty offer four-year BA (Honours) degrees of international
standard. The Department of English will also offer MA in Literatures in English and
MA in ELT programs from Fall 2026.
All programs are conducted by highly qualified and reputed faculty members. The courses across all
programs focus on core objectives and key issues within their respective disciplines while also
responding to contemporary market demands.
The programs aim to promote theoretical knowledge and practical skills, along with essential soft skills,
to produce knowledgeable, skilled, and market-ready graduates.
We particularly emphasize 21st-century skills—communication, creativity, critical thinking,
and collaboration.
Our main goal is to provide time-befitting education in Arts and Social Sciences,
preparing students to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
Our motto is “Learning for Innovation.”
