MEssage from the department head
Tasnuva Sharmin
Asst. Professor & Coordinator, Department of Law
The Department of Law started its journey in 2014 with the mission of providing students with a well-rounded legal education so that they can demonstrate their full legal potential and serve the community wherever they live and work. We also emphasize on instilling moral and ethical values through the knowledge of law.
The Department at present runs two programs, namely, Bachelor of Laws (LL B Hons.) and Master of Laws (LL M). However, the academic study here in the department is about much more than just learning the letter of the law. The legal environment that we offer is quite different from the traditional learning environment. We encourage the students to adopt an innovative approach so that they can combine academic rigor with practical legal skills which is necessary to be successful in a real life environment.
Hope you will have a wonderful time with us!

Necessary info on double major, internship/thesis, teaching assistance
Sample necessary informations sample
If a student of Batch 1 or Batch 2 decides to pursue a second major, they will be allowed to do so after they complete their internship program. However, if a student of a subsequent batch (Batch 3 or higher) wishes to pursue another major course, they will have to complete all the required academic courses before beginning their internship program.
Those who have capacity to take 5 courses in each trimester, will be allowed to complete 10 (ten) courses of their Major stream in two trimesters. But those who would find 5 courses in each trimester too much, will take two courses in an extra trimester for their second major after completion of the requirements of the first major stream.
This means, the students of third and the following Batches will have to decide about taking a second major before their internship program and then inform the Chairman of the Department. Only after completing all required courses—for both 1st & 2nd majors—they will they will be allowed to begin their internship program.
Experience shows that most BBA students prefer to follow an internship program. However, if a student wants to do a thesis instead of an internship, they should proceed as follows: Students of 1st and 2nd Batches, seeking to do a thesis, will be allowed to do so, provided they have a satisfactory CGPA and the prior permission from their respective faculty supervisor.
Students of Batches 3 and following will be allowed to take thesis only if they can secure CGPA 3.50 or above.
The BBA graduates of NDUB who seek to enroll for the MBA program at NDUB will be allowed to apply for a Teaching Assistance only if they have a CGPA minimum of 3.80. However, they also have to appear before an interview board and present a demo class as part of the application process.
