About Bangladesh Medical University

Basic information and contact details for Bangladesh Medical University

Bangladesh Medical University has a history that dates back to 1965 when the Institute of Postgraduate Medicine and Research (IPGMR) was established. In 1998, IPGMR was transformed into Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, becoming Bangladesh’s first medical university. In 2024, the institution was renamed Bangladesh Medical University.

Situated in the heart of Bangladesh's capital city, the university benefits from close connections with major hospitals, research institutions, government agencies, and healthcare organisations. Its location provides students with extensive opportunities for clinical exposure and participation in healthcare initiatives that address both national and global health challenges. 

The university consists of eight faculties: medicine, surgery, basic science and para clinical science, dentistry, paediatrics, nursing, medical technology, and preventive and social medicine. Within each faculty are specialised departments covering disciplines such as cardiology, oncology, neurology, gastroenterology, psychiatry, public health, dentistry, nursing, and many other healthcare fields. 

A distinctive feature of BMU is its Super Specialised Hospital. The hospital offers patient care, medical education, and clinical research, providing students and trainees with exposure to cases across a wide range of medical disciplines.
