Patuakhali Science and Technology University (Template:Lang-bn) is a government financed public university in Patuakhali, Bangladesh. PSTU has given affiliation to the Barisal Government Veterinary College as its constituent faculty.^[1] This is the only science and technological university in Barisal division.

History

PSTU formally started functioning after promulgation of government gazette notification on 26 February 2002 with the campus of former Patuakhali Agricultural College as its nucleus. The university started with the Faculty of Agriculture offering four-year B.Sc.Ag(Hons.) degrees.

The Patuakhali Science and Technology University was developed at the private initiative of the local people through the establishment of a higher secondary institute in 1972 as a private college. It was then turned to Patuakhali Agricultural College under the affiliation of Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh in 1979 with the objective of producing agricultural graduates offering the B.Sc.Ag.(Hons.) degree. The college was nationalized on 1 February 1985 and was placed under the administrative control of the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Ministry of Agricultural together with BAU affiliation.

The government of Bangladesh launched a project to establish a science and technology university where no such universities existed. The project advocated the transformation of Patuakhali Agricultural College into the full-fledged Patuakhali Science and Technology University that came into being through a Parliamentary Act passed on 12 July 2001.
