Office of the Faculty of Arts
Message from the Dean
The Faculty of Arts at Khulna Khan Bahadur Ahsanullah University began its journey alongside the founding of the university in 2018. Established with the aim of transforming the intellectual and social values of the region, the Faculty promotes critical and independent thinking—fundamental qualities cultivated through the study of the Arts. This discipline encourages thoughtful analysis, creative expression, and intellectual curiosity.
At present, the Faculty is home to the Department of English, which offers undergraduate honours programmes. The core programme currently available is the BA (Hons.) in English. Within classrooms, laboratories, creative studios, and performance spaces, students are prepared for diverse career paths and equipped to thrive in a complex and ever-evolving world.
The Faculty of Arts at Khulna Khan Bahadur Ahsanullah University is a place where inspiring conversations give rise to innovative ideas. Here, students and faculty collaborate in a shared pursuit of knowledge, driven by genuine passion for their fields. It is a community committed to forward-thinking research and scholarship that broadens perspectives and lays a strong foundation for future careers in the arts and humanities.
Our approach blends theoretical understanding with practical application, fostering the skills and insights essential for a meaningful and impactful profession. The curriculum encourages interdisciplinary learning and includes applied components that are rare within the humanities and distinctive to this institution. Flexible programme structures and a range of concentrations allow students to tailor their academic journey in alignment with both personal interests and professional aspirations.
Our arts programmes equip students with highly sought-after competencies in today’s global, information-rich environment: critical thinking, analytical reasoning, contextual understanding of information, and the ability to communicate and collaborate effectively across cultures, ethnicities, religions—and in multiple languages. The outcomes of an education in the arts and humanities—creative expression, reflective thinking, eloquent writing, persuasive speaking, broad comprehension, and empathy—not only enhance career prospects but also deepen our understanding of the human experience.
It is a privilege to serve as Dean of this Faculty. I hold a firm belief that the programmes offered through the Faculty of Arts provide some of the finest preparation for the urgent challenges of the modern world. I warmly invite you to explore our academic offerings, meet our dedicated faculty, and discover our exceptional facilities.
