In order to facilitate the learning process, the learners are provided with different educational resources such as modules, manual, lecture notes, ppt files, audio-video programs, text books and online study materials in addition to face-to-face and online classes as well as hands on training in lab.

The curriculum of each program offered by School of Science and Technology has been developed on the basis of the latest discovery in relevant fields which are equivalent to international standard and reflects Bangladesh perspective as well.

All the programs have separate Handbook containing detailed syllabus as well as academic and exam regulations which are very helpful for the learners conducting day to day academic activities.
