Welcome to Gazipur Agricultural University (GAU)

Gazipur Agricultural University (GAU) is a premier institution dedicated to excellence in education, cutting-edge research, and innovation in agriculture. With a vision to develop skilled graduates capable of addressing both local and global agricultural challenges, GAU stands proudly as a recognized Centre of Excellence.

Our journey began in 1998, transitioning from the esteemed Institute of Post-Graduate Studies in Agriculture (IPSA), which itself evolved from the Bangladesh College of Agricultural Sciences (BCAS), originally established in 1979 by the government of Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman. Following the historic public movement in July, GAU was officially renamed in 2025, as per Ordinance No. 05 issued by the interim government.

Located just 35 km north of Dhaka, our lush and seJrene campus offers an ideal environment for academic pursuits. GAU was the first university in Bangladesh to fully implement the North American Course-Credit System, ensuring timely graduation through a trimester-based academic calendar.

We offer a diverse range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs, including BSc degrees in Agriculture, Fisheries, Agricultural Economics & Rural Development, Forestry & Environment, Agricultural & Bioresource Engineering, and DVM. Graduate studies, including MS and PhD degrees, are available in 34 departments under six faculties, coordinated by the Faculty of Graduate Studies.

GAU’s research focuses on innovation and impact. Over the past two decades, the university has developed 89 high-yielding crop varieties and pioneering production technologies, many of which have been transferred directly to end users through our extensive outreach activities. Our collaborations span national and international universities, research institutions, and industries.

Our commitment to innovation is evident through the establishment of specialized institutes like the Institute of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering (IBGE), and the upcoming Institute of Climate Change (ICC) and Institute of Food Safety and Processing (IFSP).

With dedicated faculty, strong research output, and a future-oriented vision, GAU continues to shape the future of agriculture in Bangladesh and beyond.

We invite you—whether from home or abroad—to join hands in supporting this exceptional institution as we strive to reach global standards in higher education, research, and agricultural development.
