History

In 1948, the Department of International Relations was established at the University of Dhaka, where courses for Chinese and French were introduced the next year. The year after the Language Movement of 1952, German was added to the courses. In 1964 these courses were separated from International Relations, and a Department of Foreign Languages was established. Russian and Turkish were introduced in the next year, and Japanese in 1972. In 1973 Spanish was introduced to bring the total number of languages taught to six.

On the first of July 1974 the Institute of Modern Languages was established as an integral part of University of Dhaka, incorporating the Department of Foreign Languages of 1964 into its constitution.

In recent years the number of students has been declining. However the Korean language department was expanded in 2014.
