Admission is handled by the university for each session. Applicants choose a faculty and programme from the list above and follow the eligibility rules published on hamdarduniversity.edu.bd. The first-year intake was 636 in 2023, 548 in 2022 and 428 in 2021. Medical-related programmes may carry extra requirements, so read the circular closely.

Ulkaa records one accredited programme for 2026, the Bachelor of Pharmacy, accredited by the Pharmacy Council of Bangladesh. The 2023 figures show 80 teachers, 8 with a PhD. With 80 teachers for 1,247 students in 2023, the ratio is roughly 16 students for each teacher. Students interested in Unani or Ayurvedic medicine should ask the university how those programmes are recognised and what they lead to, since regulation of traditional medicine differs from that of modern medicine.
