As a part of the largest and fastest growing sector of the global economy there is a need for more highly qualified and trained personnel in tourism and hospitality industries. In recognition to this, the theFaculty of Business Studies, Dhaka University was contemplating to set up a department to offer degrees in this field. As a part of the faculties' endeavour to this end, the Department of Tourism and Hotel(Hospitality) Management was setup (set up) in 2007. The Department always places special emphasis on extracurricular activities. Our students have already proved it in the (on) campus through their mesmerizing performances in different national occasions and festivals. We regularly arrange study tours and industrial visits for our students so that they can get practical orientation about real world business practices. In addition, the Department is continuously looking to develop new modules for students’ welfare.
The door of the Dhaka University, popularly referred to as the Oxford of the East, was opened for the first time on 1 July 1921. The beginning of the study of “Accounting” in Dhaka University is linked to the year 1921 also. The first initiative was to establish the Department of Commerce; then came the movement to transform the Department of Commerce into a faculty where the Department of Accounting was formed as a pioneering Department.
