The British Council is the United Kingdom’s organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities. The British Council creates international opportunities for the people of the UK and other countries and builds trust between them worldwide. We call this work cultural relations. We work in over 100 countries, connecting millions of people with the United Kingdom through programmes and services in the English language, the Arts, Education and Society. We believe these are the most effective means of engaging with others, and we have been doing this work since 1934.
We have been working in Dhaka since 1951. Today, we have expanded our presence to multiple locations in Bangladesh. We offer a wide range of services and activities across the country, through our offices in Dhaka, Chattogram and Sylhet.

To reach more people and to strengthen ties between the UK and Bangladesh by connecting with people from key regions in the country, we recently opened a brand-new office in Sylhet.
Our work in examinations is central to the work of the British Council in Bangladesh. The British Council’s examinations services allow people in Bangladesh to access educational and professional development opportunities from the UK and elsewhere. Many people in Bangladesh have a very strong relationship with the UK which began when they took UK qualifications with the British Council. The experience of taking a UK qualification through the British Council is part of a life-long relationship with British education and the UK.
Our examinations services allow people in Bangladesh to access educational and professional development opportunities from the UK and elsewhere.
